Armed Forces: Germany

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he expects to have an estimate of the cost of the forthcoming return of British troops from Germany.
Answer

[holding answer 2 November 2011]: The costs involved in bringing troops back from Germany will not be known until the outcome of detailed planning currently being undertaken is completed. There will however be savings in the region of £250 million a year on allowances, education and medical support that currently exists for the Germany garrisons, once the move is completed.
