Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he has taken to insulate his departmental estate in order to improve energy efficiency; and if he will make a statement.

As part of its continuing energy efficiency programme the Ministry of Defence has invested in 1,400 energy efficiency projects. These include insulation measures as well as Building Energy Management Systems, boiler controls and LED lighting. These have been delivered across 223 Defence sites both in the UK and overseas.

Energy efficiency improvements are undertaken as part of all Service Family Accommodation (SFA) upgrade programmes where appropriate. SFA improvements include new or improved loft insulation, external wall insulation and new doors, windows, boilers and heating systems.
