tabling member constituency	Gedling
tabling member printed	Vernon Coaker
uin	215849
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/12/2014 answer text <p>As part of the Army 2020 programme, 7,280 Service personnel were made redundant in tranches 1 to 3 of the Armed Forces Redundancy Programme and around 1,000 personnel were selected in the fourth and final tranche, the majority of whom will have left the Army by June 2015. All personnel selected receive at least six months notice, twelve if they did not apply for redundancy. On leaving the Armed Forces, personnel cease to be entitled to occupy Service Family Accommodation (SFA). While the Ministry of Defence will always be as flexible as possible in order to allow families the maximum time to secure alternative accommodation, on occasions it becomes necessary to proceed to eviction action in order that properties can be made available to entitled Service families. To date, a total of three Army personnel made redundant under the Armed Forces Redundancy Programme have been evicted from SFA.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 02/12/2014 16:19:48 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/12/2014 answer text <p>In the UK the majority of water consumed on Ministry of Defence (MOD) sites is supplied by three Aquatrine Public Private Partnership contracts. The water supplied under these contractual arrangements equates to 95% by volume of consumption on UK MOD sites.</p><p>The MOD has reduced water consumption across its estate by 9% since 2010, thus exceeding a self-imposed target to achieve a 7% reduction in estate-wide water consumption and corresponding bills by 2015.</p><p>Work is continuing throughout the MOD estate to embed water use awareness, and achieve further reductions in water consumption. The Defence Infrastructure Organisation is implementing a Water Consumption Reduction programme, which will target 150 high demand sites to identify further water efficiency measures and improve the efficiency of water use.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 02/12/2014 17:50:34 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
