Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, in how many service family accommodation homes the presence of asbestos has been reported in (a) Shropshire and (b) North Shropshire constituency in each year since 2020.

These instances have been reported by contractors carrying out works in SFA where Asbestos was found to be present.

The table below details the reports in the North Shropshire Constituency only:
