Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Howe on 30 October (HL2256), which elements of the infrastructure programme at RAF Marham are (1) behind schedule, (2) on schedule, and (3) ahead of schedule.

All elements of the infrastructure programme at RAF Marham are progressing well and are expected to be completed in time to meet the programme needs. I can confirm that most elements are on track, two are behind contract dates and one element is in delay, but this is not expected to affect the Initial Operating Capability date.

I am withholding further information relating to individual elements of the infrastructure programme as its disclosure would prejudice commercial interests.
