Written question asked by Rachael Maskell (Labour) on Monday, 19 December 2016, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 9 January 2017. It was answered by Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton (Conservative) on Wednesday, 11 January 2017 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Imphal Barracks

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the cost to the public purse was of (a) recruitment and (b) redundancy as a result of the rebasing programme at Imphal Barracks.

Answer

As a result of both the merger of Headquarters of 15 (North East) Brigade with 4 Mechanised Brigade and the move of Headquarters 1st (UK) Division from Germany to York there were no civil servant redundancies and no external recruitment. Civil servants were relocated from Germany to the UK and vacancies were filled by existing civil servants. Gratuity payments made to locally employed staff in Germany are considered to be a part of the wider drawdown of UK forces from Germany and are therefore not included.
