answer text <p>The Combined Cadet Force (CCF) delivers a broad and exciting programme to pupils in schools throughout the year. It is recognised that the highlight for many pupils is attendance at a summer training or activity camp, with many of these delivered by the single Service Cadet Teams.

The single Services work hard to ameliorate this by seeking alternative opportunities where possible, and many thousands of cadets continue to take part in centrally delivered camps and training over the summer, with the Army alone providing up to 12,000 cadet places in their camps annually.</p><p> </p><p>Of note, in 2023, of the 12,000 spaces offered over a three-week period, only approximately 9,500 spaces were taken up.

We continue to refine the model by standardising the experience from across the different regions and adopting best practice.

answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD), along with other Government Departments, is committed to Smarter Working and much of our workforce has embraced the benefits of hybrid working both for themselves personally and for the business. We have implemented Government direction on increased office attendance and, as a broad average, 40% of time is spent working remotely for office based workers, for some this will be more and for others less. This is dependent upon the activity and business outcomes to be delivered. All employees agree their working location with their local line management, although this can sometimes be influenced by site capacity constraints.</p><p> </p><p>Details of Departmental headquarters’ occupancy are published on a regular basis and can be found at the following link: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcivil-service-headquarters-occupancy-data&amp;data=05%7C02%7CPaul.Carlier927%40mod.gov.uk%7C084308d82f9843c7b91f08dc437d993c%7Cbe7760ed5953484bae95d0a16dfa09e5%7C0%7C0%7C638459453917686707%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=LJi6QK0rs2cFKEKhWpfFPqVYimp8nfn%2BZ9ZnOXRuBbM%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-service-headquarters-occupancy-data</a></p>

answer text <p>The Fleet Solid Support contract will create more than 1,200 UK shipyard jobs and around 800 jobs will be sustained in the UK supply chain. There is also substantial investment being made in the UK including around £100 million into UK shipyards, including £77 million of infrastructure at Harland &amp; Wolff’s Belfast shipyard, the agreement will see a further £21 million invested in skills and technology transfer from Navantia UK. Whilst the majority of the work will take place in the UK, companies in the supply chain are still being engaged. There is also substantial investment being made in UK shipbuilding and ship design.</p><p> </p><p>As prime contractor for the Fleet Solid Support ships Navantia UK is in the process of letting a number of contracts to UK companies, including those already let with BMT and Harland &amp; Wolff. The value of the individual contracts is commercially sensitive information. It is expected that approximately 60% of the contract value will be with UK companies.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
