The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the maximum budget will be for appointing a contractor to manage the RAF Barnham site.

Answered by Alex Norris

Due diligence and assurance work for all proposed large sites including Barnham is still ongoing. Once complete, approvals will be sought in the normal way and details published as appropriate for Government Major Programmes.

No final decision has been made on whether to use MoD Barnham for asylum accommodation and no contractual agreements have been awarded to manage the site
