The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has spent over £100 million pounds on a top secret bomb proof bunker beneath its Whitehall headquarters. The project - known as Project Pindar - was authorised in 1983 but has undergone at least three enlargements which raised its capacity from 40-50 people to 500, and seen its cost rise from £42 million to £126 million. Additional problems arose when it was discovered that plant and equipment would not fit through the entrance. The project was uncovered when the Commons Defence Committee came across an unusual item in the annual defence estimates.

Observer, 3.7.94.
