Imphal Barracks

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the (a) current spend and (b) estimated total spend is of refurbishing Imphal Barracks in York in order to accommodate 1st Division Headquarters for (i) office and (ii) accommodation upgrades.

Answer

The current spend of refurbishing Imphal Barracks in York is £1.4 million and the estimated total spend is £12.7 million. It is not possible to separately identify spending for office and accommodation upgrades for the current or total spend.

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.
