Annington Homes

Asked by Mr Mark FrancoisConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 6 January 2025UIN 20577

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which departmental budgets will provide the funds to complete the purchase of the Annington estate; and what assessment he has made of the potential impact of that spending on other defence priorities.

Answered by Al Carns

Funding for the deal is being provided by His Majesty’s Treasury, not the Ministry of Defence budget. As the purchase has no impact on other Defence priorities, no financial assessment has been made.
