In addition, Defence Ministers will update the House as we consider the full business case for FAM in 2022, when a decision on whether to roll out the FAM across other UK bases will be made; we will not be in a position to judge the success of the pilot until we have a complete picture in 2022.</p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 13/03/2020 11:05:38 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer
