Armed Forces: Housing
Asked by: Lauren Edwards (Labour - Rochester and Strood) Thursday 26th March 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress his Department has made on delivering the Defence Housing Strategy; what the total planned investment is for upgrading military accommodation; and how many service homes are expected to benefit in Rochester and Strood constituency. Answered by Luke Pollard - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) We have begun the biggest transformation of Armed Forces housing in a generation. The Department is in the early stages of delivering the recommendations of the Defence Housing Strategy and we will publish our implementation plan in due course. The plan is funded by a £9 billion investment plan and will be delivered via a decade of renewal, driven by the new Defence Housing Service.
We have already made rapid improvements by delivering our Consumer Charter commitments which we announced in April 2025 to drive immediate, tangible improvements to accommodation for Service families:
Until the recommendations in the Strategy have final implementation plans for every area of the country, some c47,000 homes, I regret we cannot confirm the future intent for military housing in each constituency.
