answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2014 answer text <p>The £200 million Forces Help to Buy scheme commenced on 1 April 2014, meaning that Servicemen and women can now borrow up to 50% of their salary, up to a maximum of £25,000, interest-free, providing a boost to those needing to find a deposit to buy their own home.</p><p> </p><p>To assist the transition of serving personnel to civilian life, the MOD offers a wide-ranging resettlement programme which includes a briefing by the Joint Services Housing Advice Office. This offers advice and information about a range of topics that armed forces personnel may find useful relating to an individual's housing needs before they leave the armed forces.</p><p> </p><p>Once a person leaves service, any need for social housing becomes a local authority matter. The MOD is working closely with the Department for Communities and Local Government to ensure the fair treatment of service families in need of social housing and ensure they are given proper priority on housing waiting lists.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognises that there is more that can be done to provide practical support to our veterans and their families in this area. In February I announced LIBOR funding of £40 million to support charities which assist veterans with housing needs in order to build new homes, buy new accommodation and renovate old facilities. Projects are expected to include hostels and half-way houses for veterans who have fallen on hard times, supported housing for the wounded, injured and sick, and long-term care homes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2014 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence uses a process called “manpower substitution” to engage temporary staff at agreed fixed rates on a national basis through a number of contracts. Manpower substitutes are employed for up to 11 months to fill vacant, funded posts. The majority are brought in to fill medical and dental requirements at military medical centres to cover for military positions that are vacant due to deployment into operational theatre. This enables the medical services to continue to provide the best possible care to members of the Armed Forces.</p><p> </p><p>The five companies most frequently used by the Ministry of Defence in Financial Year 2013-14 to provide temporary workers, and the associated fees paid to each, are presented in the following table:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Company</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Type of worker</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of Temporary Workers</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Fees Paid</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>HoneyBee</p></td><td><p>Medical &amp; Dental</p></td><td><p>790</p></td><td><p>£3.46m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>CastleRock Ltd</p></td><td><p>Medical &amp; Dental</p></td><td><p>490</p></td><td><p>£2.61m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Capita Resourcing</p></td><td><p>Interim Professionals</p></td><td><p>320</p></td><td><p>£2.07m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hayes</p></td><td><p>Medical &amp; Dental</p></td><td><p>190</p></td><td><p>£0.59m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Reed</p></td><td><p>Clerical &amp; Admin</p></td><td><p>160</p></td><td><p>£0.11m</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The figures provided for Capita Resourcing cover the period from April 2013 to March 2014.
