The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the remuneration package is for (a) the Chair and (b) all other members of the Defence Housing Strategy review team.

Answered by Al Carns

In line with the Governance Code on Public Appointments, Natalie Elphicke-Ross has been appointed as the Chair of the Defence Housing Strategy review team. Natalie will bring with her a wealth of technical and industry expertise to get the most out of on this once in a generational opportunity to recapitalise our Defence Estate. This is a paid position, at a rate of £600 per day.

The daily rates being paid to other members of the Defence Housing Strategy Review Team varies. The average payment for external members appointed as contractors, not direct Ministerial appointments, is less than £600 per day.
