£22.5 MILLION FOR A BARRACKS THE MoD INTEND TO SPEND £400 MILLION ON

Additional Information

The government propose spending £400 million on a new barracks in Scotland.

Keetwonen is the name of the biggest container city in the world. Living in a converted shipping container was a new concept in the Netherlands when launched, but the city of Amsterdam took the courageous step to contract to go and realise it. It turned out to be a big success among students in Amsterdam and it is now the second most popular student dormitory offered by the student housing corporation

These converted containers are publicly advertised at £2500 each housing 4 or 2 with a separate room.

With 3,000 units lets, very pessimistically, double it for shipping costs and getting it on site.

Lets add 50% for the related facilities.

£22.5 million as against £400 million

Ask ordinary soldiers if the Keetwonen facilities are as good as, or better than normal barracks. Let Parliament debate whether spending £400 million or £22.5 million is better.
