The below Parliamentary question was asked by Anne-Marie Trevelyan on 2016-04-08.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will undertake a review to establish the reasons for the Government underestimating the numbers of migrants from A2 countries when transitional controls on migration from those countries were relaxed and abolished on 1 January 2014; and if she will make a statement.

The European Commission has clearly said that the UK already meets the criteria for the implementation of the ‘emergency brake’ and the text of the agreement makes clear that, once the necessary legislation is in place, EU workers newly arriving in the UK will not have full access to our in-work benefits for up to four years.

The Home Office accepted the view of the independent Migration Advisory Committee that to produce such estimates "would not be sensible, or helpful to policymakers" and did not prepare specific forecasts of likely inflows from Romania and Bulgaria once restrictions expired on 1 January 2014. There are no plans to undertake a review of this decision.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many serving members of the armed forces have dependent children.

Mark Lancaster

As at 1 July 2016, there were 185,310 serving members of the Armed Forces with 57,590 dependent children.

Individual Service personnel self-declare the number of children they have on the Joint Personnel Administration (JPA) database. For the purposes of this question, a dependent child is defined as any child under the age of 18, as recorded on JPA. Numbers are rounded to the nearest 10. Numbers ending in 5 are rounded to the nearest 20 to avoid systematic bias.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Anne-Marie Trevelyan on 2016-04-08.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans his Department has to publish (a) CarillionAmey’s key performance indicators (KPIs) and (b) his Department’s assessment of the extent to which those KPIs have been met in each year of the present contract.

Mark Lancaster

The Ministry of Defence has no plans to publish CarillionAmey’s (CA) Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) externally.

However letters are sent out each month as part of a wider Accommodation performance update to key stakeholders, including the Families Federations. These letters report on the following national housing prime contract KPIs.

Service Family Accommodation (SFA) allocations;

Void property preparation;

Move-in;

Helpdesk telephone response;

Reactive maintenance;

Statutory and Mandatory checks; and

Stage 1 complaints.

CA have not met all their KPIs since contract award, however the Department has now installed a comprehensive plan in this and other contracts which CA are responsible for which has meant that as of March the vast majority of national housing prime contract KPIs are now being met or exceeded.
