To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much his Department has spent on redevelopment work at each Royal Air Force base in Scotland in each of the last 10 years; and what estimate he has made of his Department's likely expenditure on such work in each of the next five years.
[Official Report, 16 December 2010, Vol. 520, c. 891W.]
Letter of correction from Mr Nick Harvey:
An error has been identified in the written answer given to the hon. Member for Moray (Angus Robertson) on 16 December 2010.
The full answer given was as follows:
Nick Harvey
The expenditure on redevelopment (defined as capital expenditure and minor new works) for the major RAF stations in the UK since financial year 2006-07 is shown in the following table:
£ million | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
2006-07 | 2007-08 | 2008-09 | 2009-10 | |
RAF Kinloss | 5.3 | 3.9 | 1.9 | 1.8 |
RAF Leuchars | 4.7 | 4.3 | 5.6 | 9.4 |
RAF Lossiemouth | 5.6 | 1.8 | 4.5 | 6.1 |
Information prior to the financial year 2005-06 is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Some of the expenditure has been split between individual financial years on an estimated basis.
The Ministry of Defence is in the process of completing its annual planning round which will allocate future programme budgets. This is expected to conclude in early 2011.
The correct answer should have been:
