Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 25 April 2023 to Question 181192 on Military Bases: Concrete, how many surveys were conducted to identify buildings on the Defence Estate containing reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete.

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 Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC) on Ministry of Defence (MOD) land.

We take safety extremely seriously and, based on our current information, RAAC has not traditionally been used by the MOD in the construction of domestic structure, and it is therefore highly unlikely that any Service Family Accommodation is affected. The majority of Single Living Accommodation was not constructed during the review period.
