Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Anna Soubry and Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston

Monday 4th November 2013 Commons Chamber

[Anna Soubry]

I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend. That is why the new employment model that we are developing will deliver an offer to regular service personnel that supports domestic stability by reducing the frequency of moves and supports partners’ employment. We know that issues such as those two points often concern members of our armed forces and lead to a lot of dissatisfaction.

[Ms Gisela Stuart (Birmingham, Edgbaston) (Lab)]

Often the problem is the availability of housing. Will the Minister update the House on what discussions have been had with local authorities in general and Birmingham city council in particular about the provision of extra housing?
