Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make an assessment of the number of buildings on the Defence Estate that have been constructed (a) partly and (b) wholly of 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 on all buildings which may have been constructed using Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (RAAC).

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.
