§ Mr. KeyTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his estimate of the cost of providing630W accommodation and infrastructure for his Department's personnel relocated from Germany to the United Kingdom under the terms of the Strategic Defence Review. [94151]
§ Mr. HoonThe current estimate of the cost of providing accommodation and infrastructure for personnel relocating from Germany to the United Kingdom under the SDR is of the order of £150 million. The cost of the programme will be spread over seven years. I expect that a proportion of the works will be delivered through Public Private Partnership. Once withdrawal is complete, I expect operating cost savings of some £13 million a year.
