Imphal Barracks

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the cost to the public purse was of refurbishing Imphal Barracks in York in order to accommodate 1st Division Headquarters.

Answer

Work has recently started on the refurbishment of Imphal Barracks in order to accommodate 1st Division Headquarters. Work is ongoing and final costs will not be available until Financial Year 2017-18.

While there is no Defence requirement for Imphal Barracks after 2031, the necessary refurbishment works represent value for money to avoid any costly repairs and to ensure the site remains safe and compliant for the occupants over the next 15 years.
