To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 121 of the report entitled Ministry of Defence Annual Report and Accounts 2022-23, HC 1468, published in July 2023, for what reason the fruitless payment relating to reconstruction of multi threat wall for typhoon synthetic trainers arose.
Answered on
13 March 2024
Additional costs were incurred on the Typhoon Future Synthetic Training new buildings to ensure the internal walls complied with the latest appropriate standards, in order to meet security requirements.
This required the redesign and rework of walls that were already being constructed and resulted in the fruitless payment detailed in the Annual Report and Accounts 2022-23.
