Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their current estimate of the total cost of (1) designing, (2) building, and (3) rolling out, the National Law Enforcement Data Programme.
Answered by
Baroness Williams of Trafford
Captain of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen-at-Arms (HM Household) (Chief Whip, House of Lords)
The total cost for the delivery of the National Law Enforcement Data Programme is £263M. This is as stated in the 2019 Business Case and includes programme cost to date but excludes costs associated with risk and optimism bias. Due to the parallel activity associated with design, build and delivery the costs are grouped. Any further breakdown of costs would be artificial due to the complexity of delivery.
NLEDP is currently producing a new Business Case which will include updated costs which is due for approval in April 2021.
