This includes the routine safety assessments, maintenance and improvement programmes applied to all SLA buildings constructed prior to the Regulations.</p><p>The MOD's Building Regulations Compliance System (BRCS) is designed to broadly replicate the civilian Building Control process and builds on the safety culture within the MOD. BRCS also applies to building work overseas. The Defence Infrastructure Organisation's Building Control Compliance Authority ensures compliance with the procedures of the BRCS, the technical application of Building Regulations, and selects projects for audit.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 16/04/2024 11:18:53 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2024 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) 10% void rate remains a valid target, however, a revised achievement date of 1 November 2026 was agreed with the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) in June 2023.</p><p>The Modernised Accommodation Offer (MAO) will significantly increase eligibility and demand for Service Family Accommodation (SFA), which will be satisfied through the use of void SFA. This has changed the planning assumptions on which the original target was set and to dispose of void SFA ahead of MAO would increase reliance on the Private Rental Sector (PRS), creating additional, avoidable long-term costs to the MOD.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 03/04/2024 14:50:14 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge
