Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to resolve the frequent interruptions to the hot water supply at Keogh Barracks; what steps have been taken to protect the welfare of Service personnel as a result of the lack of hot water at those barracks; and whether his Department has identified a permanent solution to those interruptions.

A temporary repair has been installed to resolve the interruptions to the hot water supply at Keogh Barracks, including a temporary boiler to the main accommodation block.

A permanent solution has been identified and the newly designed system will be installed in the next financial year.
