§ Mr. Nigel JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer of 10 March,Official Report, column 394, what was the cost of refurbishment to the personal residence of the air officer commanding the RAF personnel management centre, Innsworth.
§ Mr. HanleyThe current air officer commanding the personnel management centre at RAF Innsworth vacated his official residence, Haymes Garth, in May 1992. That was to allow it to be refurbished for the air officer commander in chief of the new RAF personnel and training command. Since May 1992, the existing air officer commanding has been living in his own private residence. The value of the work being carried out at Haymes Garth is estimated at around £260,000 and includes substantial expenditure on repairs to the roof, on rewiring and re-plumbing.
