HC Deb 09 December 1993 vol 234 c355W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the total maintenance backlog of(a) unavoidable and essential repairs and (b) urgent repairs on the defence estate at 1 April in each year since 1980; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Aitken

Since the untying from the Property Services Agency on 1 April 1990, the information requested has been held by 23 separate top-level budget holders within the Ministry of Defence. It would, therefore, involve disproportionate cost to acquire the information.
