question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 51, paragraph 4.49 of the 46th Report of the Armed Forces' Pay Review Body, published on 28 March 2017, on what basis his Department calculated that the future accommodation model would result in savings of £500 million over 10 years.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2017 answer text <p>The 2015 Spending Review committed the Ministry of Defence (MOD) to savings of around £500 million from accommodation over the next 10 years through reduced running costs, capital receipts and savings. Inefficiencies in the current model mean that it costs the MOD around two pounds for every pound of effective accommodation subsidy Service personnel receive; by making the model more efficient we aim to realise these savings and also create a fairer model that provides Service personnel with more choice.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 25/04/2017 11:37:53 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2017 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence takes seriously the recommendations of the Armed Forces Pay Review Body. Recruitment and Retention Payments (RRP) are paid at Departmental discretion to recruit and retain individuals in specific cadres. It is, therefore, right that RRP is removed when the Department is no longer able to retain the services of an individual to whom RRP is paid.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 18/04/2017 15:16:57 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
