uin	224990
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2015 answer text <p>The Government recognises that many military units, both in the UK and overseas, have evolved without the same standard of purpose-built childcare facilities that civilian families can expect. That is why the Chancellor announced in 2013 that up to £20 million of LIBOR money would be provided to update existing childcare facilities and provide new purpose-built buildings on the Defence Estate.</p><p> </p><p>In December 2014 the Prime Minister announced that around £3 million of this money will be spent on a childcare project at the RAF base in Akrotiri, Cyprus. In addition, initial scoping undertaken by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has identified a further 38 locations where this money could increase the accessibility or availability of childcare provision for the Service community. MOD officials are now working to establish the levels of funding required for each project and announcements will be made in due course. It is anticipated the full £20 million will be used.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 02/03/2015 16:32:32 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
