The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress his Department has made on implementing the Mensa programme.

Answered by Maria Eagle

The MENSA programme has presented several challenges which have resulted in cost growth and delays. The programme is nearing the end of its construction and commissioning stage, which is reflected by the Amber rating in the Infrastructure and Projects Authority Annual Report 2023-24.
