Leuchars Station

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many civilian jobs will be attached to Leuchars on completion of the Better Defence Estate review, published in November 2016.

Answer

"A Better Defence Estate" is a military-led report.

The number of civilian jobs and service personnel that will be based at Leuchars on completion of the "A Better Defence Estate" review is yet to be determined. As outlined in the Strategy, Leuchars will be one of the primary hubs in which the Defence Estate will consolidate in Scotland. Assessment studies in the next 12 to 18 months will clarify how Leuchars will be utilised and therefore the number of civilian and military personnel who will be based there.
