To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether contracts have been awarded to companies to undertake assessments of Site A at MoD Bicester in preparation for using it as an asylum centre.

Answer

Luke Pollard
This is a matter for the Home Office, not the Ministry of Defence, as they have responsibility for setting up and running asylum accommodation on MOD sites.
