These responses will help the Ministry of Defence understand what the FAM could look like. The Survey results, including all of the comments, are now being processed and will be subject to rigorous analysis in the normal way. The large number of responses means that this process will take longer than initially anticipated, although we hope to be in a position to publish the results in full in early 2017.</p><p>Qualitative analysis of the comments section will form part of the results and will be published in a way that protects anonymity.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 25/10/2016 14:59:05 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
