§ Mr. BakerTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what percentage of costs of the construction of the new GCHQ building and contents at Cheltenham are being met from non-UK Government sources. [114110]
§ Mr. Robin Cook[holding answer 14 March 2000]: The cost of GCHQ's new accommodation falls to the UK Government. However, the provision of the new building will be met under a private finance initiative which means that the finance for the construction costs will be raised by the private sector.
