Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when Boulogne Barracks, Catterick, was last used as accommodation for single servicemen and women; what the maximum number of personnel who could be accommodated in that barracks was at that time; and if he will make an estimate of how much the cost was of renovating that barracks for use as single living accommodation.

Bourlon Barracks still routinely provides accommodation for up to 112 personnel. It can accommodate up to 1,108 personnel but there are no plans to use other buildings within the Barracks for this purpose. There has, therefore, been no estimate of how much the cost of renovating Bourlon Barracks for use as Single Living Accommodation would be.
