uin	66809
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2017 answer text <p>The provision of quality accommodation to our Service personnel is of the utmost importance and is at the heart of the Armed Forces Covenant. Currently around 94% of UK Service Family Accommodation (SFA) some 46,230 properties are at the Decent Homes standard or above. Only SFA at those standards will be allocated to new occupants. Through the Ministry of Defence's (MOD) Single Living Accommodation (SLA) Modernisation (SLAM) project and other projects some 54,000 bed spaces have been delivered across the estate at over 52 locations. The MOD is developing a new SLA management infrastructure system to provide more accurate data on SLA condition, scale and utilisation. This will enable more effective and consistent management and allocation of SLA, and allow the MOD to target its investment more effectively on sites where we have a long-term requirement.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 13/03/2017 17:15:11 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2017 answer text <p>The Master of Signals Council has taken the decision to disband the White Helmet Motor Cycle Team at the end of their 2017 tour. Whilst the display is impressive, it was judged that it no longer reflects the modern role of the Royal Corps of Signals as leaders in a digital age, using cutting edge technology. Engagement that reflects their modern day image is planned to continue.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 09/03/2017 16:03:54 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

uin	66750
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2017 answer text <p>No precise answer is possible, since the Courts do not normally make explicit findings as to whether individual cases are vexatious or not. We estimate however that the Ministry of Defence has spent over £100 million on inquiries' legal costs and compensation relating to the Iraq conflict, a large proportion of which is attributable to allegations brought by the now discredited Public Interest Lawyers.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 13/03/2017 17:16:25 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
