answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2015 answer text <p>The Government recognises that many military units, both in the UK and overseas, have evolved without the same standard of purpose-built childcare facilities that civilian families can expect. That is why the Chancellor announced in 2013 that up to £20 million of LIBOR money would be provided to update existing childcare facilities and provide new purpose-built buildings on the Defence Estate.</p><p> </p><p>In December 2014 the Prime Minister announced that around £3 million of this money will be spent on a childcare project at the RAF base in Akrotiri, Cyprus. In addition, initial scoping undertaken by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has identified a further 38 locations where this money could increase the accessibility or availability of childcare provision for the Service community. MOD officials are now working to establish the levels of funding required for each project and announcements will be made in due course. It is anticipated the full £20 million will be used.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 02/03/2015 16:32:32 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps are taken to ensure that ammunition used on firing ranges is fully and properly accounted for; and what amount of ammunition has not been accounted for in each of the three services in each of the last five years.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2015 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) takes the security and accounting of its ammunition very seriously. The MOD therefore has in place mechanisms to ensure that only units and individuals which are allowed to draw and use specific types of ammunition can do so. In addition to this, the MOD operates a rigorous internal audit system to ensure that ammunition can be accounted for at all stages of the supply chain. This includes both formal inventory checking within ammunition stores and confirmatory checks at the end of a range session; the latter includes a declaration requiring individuals to confirm they have no ammunition in their possession. The Service Police Crime Bureau has recorded all reported losses, thefts, and recoveries of MOD ammunition since 2011. Centrally held figures prior to 2011 are not available and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. The amount of lost and stolen ammunition is shown in the following table.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>Total</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lost 9mm</p></td><td><p>13</p></td><td><p>164</p></td><td><p>60</p></td><td><p>237</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lost 5.56mm</p></td><td><p>247</p></td><td><p>602</p></td><td><p>1,473</p></td><td><p>2,322</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lost 7.62mm</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>210</p></td><td><p>210</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lost .22mm</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>55</p></td><td><p>55</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lost L35A3 105mm</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lost 12.7mm</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>29</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>29</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Stolen 9mm</p></td><td><p>23</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>15</p></td><td><p>38</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Stolen 5.56mm</p></td><td><p>90</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>280</p></td><td><p>371</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Stolen 7.62mm</p></td><td><p>200</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td><p>30</p></td><td><p>230</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Full year data for 2014 is not yet available.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 02/03/2015 16:22:13 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry previous answer version 19205 answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
