Defence: Huntingdon
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions has he held with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government regarding the feasibility of delivering Project FAIRFAX in relation to the options for Local Government Reorganisation in Cambridgeshire.
Answered by Ministry of Defence
The Ministry of Defence has engaged with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), local authorities and regional partners on matters relevant to the delivery of Project FAIRFAX, which seeks to establish a unique defence, technology and innovation cluster, bringing together partners from Government, academia and industry.
This engagement helps ensure that the opportunities presented by the project, alongside Defence requirements, are appropriately considered as proposals for local government reorganisation in Cambridgeshire develop. Defence will work constructively with any changes determined by MHCLG and looks forward to further developing Project FAIRFAX with local, regional and national partners in due course.
