Armed Forces: Housing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what discussions his Department has had with (a) the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, (b) Pinnacle Group, (c) Amey and (d) VIVO since the publication of the Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey Results; and if he will publish a summary of those discussions.

Answer

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) is part of the Department. DIO has discussed the Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey (AFCAS) results with Pinnacle, Amey and VIVO. The Department's focus on addressing the root causes of dissatisfaction with the maintenance of Service Family Accommodation began before the AFCAS Survey Questionnaire was distributed to Service Personnel. By the time results were published on 1 June 2023, performance had improved.

A summary of discussions the Department has had with suppliers regarding performance since the publication of AFCAS cannot be provided, as disclosure would prejudice commercial interests.
