Ministry of Defence: Buildings
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent estimate he has made of the number of buildings owned by his Department that have asbestos.
Answered by Maria Eagle
We take the health and safety of our Service personnel and defence employees extremely seriously and have robust procedures around managing asbestos which comply with Health and Safety regulations.
We are responsible for circa 1,967 sites and each building with confirmed asbestos is listed on the relevant site asbestos register. This data is not held centrally and can only be provided at disproportionate cost.
