I propose to take Questions Nos. 649 and 650 together.
In certain circumstances, the Defence Forces permit their telecommunications infrastructure to be used by private companies. On occasion, private companies are also permitted to erect infrastructure on military property. In both scenarios, rent is charged. Where a private company has erected infrastructure on military property the company may permit other companies to access their infrastructure. In these cases, the Department charges for access to the facility.
The income received by the Department of Defence in these circumstances is set out in the following table.
