HC Deb 05 March 1996 vol 273 c122W
Mr. Tony Banks

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the construction costs of his Department's procurement executive at Abbey Wood. [16853]

Mr. Arbuthnot

The outturn costs for the construction of Abbey Wood are estimated to be £247.2 million at 1992 prices—£273.3 million at 1995 prices—against the approved budget of £248.5 million at 1992 prices—£273.4 million at 1995 prices. The project is therefore within budget.
