answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2018 answer text <p>At the 1999 Washington Summit, NATO Heads of State and Government decided to build a new NATO headquarters to meet the requirements of the Alliance in the twenty first century. In 2003, the North Atlantic Council approved a design for the new headquarters with an estimated cost of €1.2 billion. These costs have been revised on a number of occasions; the current estimate is €1.17 billion. Handover of the site was originally planned for August 2015 but was delayed until March 2017 due to technical difficulties. Allies will begin moving to the new headquarters in March 2018 with the site of the current buildings returning to the Belgian Government towards the end of this year.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/03/2018 17:11:31 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

The noble Lord may be interested to note that the concept of ever closer union was covered in the 26/27 June European Council conclusions which stated that “the European Council noted that the concept of ever closer union allows for different paths of integration for different countries, allowing those that want to deepen integration to move ahead, while respecting the wish of those who do not want to deepen any further”. I also refer the noble Lord to the Prime Minister's Statement to the House of 30 June regarding the European Council.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 10/07/2014 13:29:47 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
