answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2021 answer text <p>Across all three Services of the Armed Forces there is currently approximately a six month backlog of requests for Service records of deceased personnel. The administration work associated with officials providing these records, which are primarily in hardcopy, can only be undertaken if physically present in the office. This has been impacted by reduced staffing levels because of Government Covid-19 restrictions requiring social distancing, local Tier restrictions, and staff shielding. Additionally, there has been an increase in applications received during the lockdown periods in the last 12 months, which has further contributed to a backlog forming. It is anticipated that as soon as restrictions are lifted, in line with the Government’s roadmap out of lockdown, the backlog should start to reduce.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty grouped question UIN 183097 185319 question first answered 26/04/2021 10:02:01 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
