Monday 17th November 2025

Asked by: Luke Murphy (Labour - Basingstoke)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to take steps to ensure that families of staff seconded to his Department's non-departmental public bodies receive the same recognition of ordinary residence as direct employees of his Department.

Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence)

The Ministry of Defence has no such plans as Non-Departmental Public Bodies have delegated authority over their HR policies, including the management of secondees.
