HC Deb 23 July 2004 vol 424 c725W
Sue Doughty

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what timbers will be used in the pre-fabricated barracks to be built at(a) Aldershot and (b) Salisbury Plain; and what steps will be taken to ensure that timber used at the barracks will come from (i) legal and (ii) sustainable sources. [184948]

Mr. Caplin

Although it is too early in the design development process to say what specific type of timbers will be used, any new buildings in Aldershot or Salisbury Plain constructed under the Allenby/Connaught Project will adhere to Sustainable Development principles and Environmental Management Systems. This will include assessment of accommodation in accordance with the Building Research Establishment's Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM).
