§ Mr. Bill WalkerTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer of 10 June 1992,Official Report, column 176, if he is now in a position to make a statement about his plans for an integrated army personnel centre outside London.
§ Mr. Archie Hamilton[pursuant to his reply, 13 January 1993, c. 760]: The consultation period has now ended. A number of representations were received, one of which proposed an alternative building for the centre in Stockport at a purchase price to the Ministry of Defence of rather less than £4 million, against a purchase price of around £20 million for the original proposal. These representations are now being considered. No decisions have been taken and I will make a further statement on our intentions as soon as possible.
