Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what initial costs his Department incurred as a result of establishing the Air Battlespace Training Centre at RAF Waddington, other than the £33 million contract with QinetiQ to provide synthetic training.
The information is not held centrally and a full answer could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
However, an initial contract with Inzpire Ltd of £7.5 million was let, to cover years 2008-2015. This contract included 'White Force' support, incorporating personnel who designed, developed and delivered training.
