HC Deb 12 March 1979 vol 964 c56W
Mr. Peter Bottomley

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will give an up-to-date estimate of the costs and savings involved in the transfer of the defence codification from Mottingham.

Dr. Gilbert

The latest estimated net cost of moving the Defence Codification Authority task from Mottingham is £1.75 million for the period to 1988–89. This sum excludes the estimated costs of setting up the proposed RAF codification agency, and takes no account of resource gains in the receiving location.
