The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many child play areas there are across the defence estate; and what the annual cost is of their upkeep.

Answered by Luke Pollard

There are 618 play areas across the defence estate. It is not possible to break down the annual cost of their upkeep as their maintenance forms part of the wider Future Defence Infrastructure Services (FDIS) contracts and it is not possible to isolate these specific costs.
