§ Mr. BayleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer of 22 April,Official Report, column 394, about the number of square feet of office space of Imphal barracks to be released by the move of Army manning and records offices to Glasgow, what is the notional rental value of this office space per square foot; and what is the notional rental value per square foot of the new office accommodation for Army manning and records staff in Glasgow.
§ Mr. Hanley[holding answer 12 May 1994]: The office accommodation at Imphal barracks is located within the barrack area and, for security reasons, it could not therefore be leased or otherwise disposed of. The question of a notional rental value is therefore not relevant. The investment appraisal for the Army personnel centre did, however, include an opportunity cost, which represented a notional rental value for that part of Kentigern house which would otherwise have been occupied by the APC. Because of commercial confidentiality, this figure cannot be released.
