	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/08/2014 answer text <p>Under previous arrangements, Official Service Residences (OSRs, colloquially known as ‘grace and favour’ residencies) were provided for senior officers in certain posts which required them to undertake official hospitality for Defence purposes. As announced by the then Minister for Personnel, Welfare and Veterans (Andrew Robathan) on 12 December 2011 (Official Report, column 63WS), these arrangements have been discontinued. Properties which were formerly categorised as OSRs are being phased out on a rolling basis as personnel retire or move on to other posts. However, senior officers remain entitled to Service Family Accommodation (Type 1 or Type 2). In addition, the Department is undertaking an ongoing review into domestic assistance policy to ensure that the level of support provided to senior entitled officers is appropriate and driven by a clear business need. Information is available for financial years 2009-10 and 2010-11 and is presented in the tables.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry previous answer version 11770 answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry 15385 answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry attachment 1 file name Tables - Part of answer to 205237.doc title Tables forming part of the answer to 205237 question first answered 07/08/2014 10:44:05 question first ministerially corrected 16/02/2015 10:06:13 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry attachment 1 file name Tables - Part of answer to 205237 FINAL.doc title Tables forming part of the answer to 205237 v3
