In Lord Ashcroft's 2014 review of transition arrangements, he made clear that the measures which the Ministry of Defence (MOD) already have in place ensure that the vast majority of Service leavers make a successful transition to civilian life. Among many others, these measures include a resettlement and career package from the MOD-funded Career Transition Partnership and funding for nationally recognised qualifications through Enhanced Learning Credits which can be utilised up to 10 years post-discharge. These arrangements apply to all Service leavers, regardless of stationed location or residential address within the UK.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many and what proportion of (a) staff of his Department and (b) staff working for companies contracted by his Department in Scotland are paid less than the living wage.
The Government supports businesses which choose to pay the Living Wage. The national minimum wage is independently set by the Low Pay Commission at a level which maximises wages without reducing employment prospects. It is for workers and employers to negotiate the level of wages above the minimum wage. This includes the Government as a procurer and an employer. Around 20 million employees, over 95% of the total, earn above the minimum wage, and the majority of public sector workers currently earn above the Living Wage.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) currently employs 170 civilian staff in Scotland who are being paid below the UK Living Wage of £7.85 an hour. This represents 4.4% of the MOD civilian population based in Scotland.
We do not have access to the information required to provide equivalent data in respect of contracted workers' rates of pay, where paid by their parent company or recruitment agency.

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many family members of (a) serving and (b) former Scottish service personnel are registered to vote in Scotland.
[149245]
Registration is a private matter and we do not collect information on whether or not family members of service personnel are registered to vote.
Under section 59 of the Representation of the People Act 1983, the Ministry of Defence must make appropriate provision to inform service personnel and their spouses of their rights under that Act. Under the Act, members of the forces; people employed overseas in the service of the Crown; people employed overseas by the British Council; and the spouses or civil partners of those groups are entitled to register under a service declaration. The Electoral Register does not differentiate between these various groupings.
