Hebrides Range: Storms

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when he plans to arrange for buildings pertaining to Hebrides Range on St Kilda, which were damaged by recent high winds, to be repaired.

Answer

Detailed assessments are being undertaken to determine the extent of repair work required to buildings and equipment at the Ministry of Defence (MOD) tracking station on St Kilda following the recent severe storms. This work is planned to be completed very shortly.

It is intended that as much of this work as possible should be conducted in parallel with an existing programme to upgrade equipment at the MOD Hebrides Range, which is currently under way and is due to be completed by late spring 2015.
