§ Miss McIntoshTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment his Department has made of the cost of the works for making safe The Keep, Imphal Barracks. [109443]
§ Mr. SpellarThe Keep is currently unoccupied, although some basement rooms are used for storage. It is safe for the light foot traffic that the building is restricted to, and therefore needs no additional work other than routine maintenance. As for the cost of maintaining the building, I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave the hon. Member for Salisbury (Mr. Key) on 7 February 2000,Official Report, column 29W.
