answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2017 answer text <p>Decisions to close defence sites are based on an assessment of how best to deliver military capability, rather than on the basis of the impacts on a specific region. We do not make defence decisions to benefit one local economy or industry over another. It is the duty of Government to make sure that the Defence budget is spent wisely, maximising the resources available for the front line and making sure that every pound counts. For sites which are surplus to military requirements the Ministry of Defence will work closely with the Local Authorities and other stakeholders to consider the most appropriate future uses.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 04/07/2017 14:14:02 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
