Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the potential effect of the condition of Royal Air Force service accommodation on (a) flight safety, (b) operational effectiveness and (c) morale; and if he will make a statement.

There have been no recent assessments conducted specifically in relation to accommodation issues affecting flight safety and operational effectiveness. However, the annual Armed Forces Continuous Attitude Survey (AFCAS) includes questions regarding accommodation and morale to enable the MOD to garner the views of Service personnel and act where necessary.
