Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 25 April to Question 181192, whether the survey to identify buildings that may have been constructed with Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete has been completed, and whether that survey included an examination of buildings in the defence estate opened between 1990 and 2000.

For now, the focus is on bringing together the information we hold about the Government estate into one place. This work is being coordinated by the Office for Government Property.

Surveys are currently being conducted to identify buildings which may have been constructed with RAAC on Ministry of Defence (MOD) land.

To date, initial inspections have identified 2,820 Ministry of Defence buildings that require surveys (this number will grow as further initial inspections are completed). As at 5 September, 1,220 surveys have been completed. Buildings to be assessed include all those constructed between 1950 and 1999.
