	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2022 answer text <p>The Defence Accommodation Strategy (DAS) is wide reaching, affecting all the Services and many teams within the Ministry of Defence. Whilst Defence Accommodation is provided to support the operational readiness of the Services in the areas it is needed; this strategy encompasses more than just the 'bricks and mortar' of the estate. It is important that we support our Service People and their families, be mindful of their health and wellbeing, and create safe and supportive places to live. We have taken all these factors into consideration in creating a strategy that is meaningful and fit for purpose.</p><p>The DAS is close to publication and, once published, will guide the allocation, utilisation, and quality of Defence accommodation until the conclusion of the Future Accommodation Model pilot. Therefore, the strategy looks out to 2030 but will be reviewed in light of decisions on the Future Accommodation Model pilots in 2023. Progress against its delivery will be reported annually in the Armed Forces Covenant report.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 28/02/2022 17:59:42 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
