HC Deb 21 January 1985 vol 71 c322W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what level of spending he proposes to devote to the improvement of security in his Department's property in the next two years.

Mr. Stanley

Final decisions have not yet been taken by Ministers on the provision in estimates for 1985–86 and in the long-term costing for 1986–87 for major works services, including major new physical security installations at Ministry of Defence establishments and units. In addition, the cost of security measures (which cover a very wide field) are not always separately identifiable from major works projects of which they often form part. Information about more minor works services and installations is not held centrally and could not be provided except at disproportionate cost.
