Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the cost of relocating Defence Business Services to Blackpool is.
The full business case (which will include expected costs) is expected to be scrutinised in May 2022. This follows the down selection of Blackpool as the preferred site of the consolidated hub after comparing the qualitative benefits and through life costs of potential sites based on several factors including operational risk, sustainability and compliance with the key user requirements.
