Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the cost to the public purse was of repair work in (a) service family accommodation and (b) single living accommodation in 2023.

The Ministry of Defence is unable to accurately report costs within calendar years as final spend is analysed and reported at the end of each Financial Year (FY). Therefore, the Department can only provide costs for the most recent complete FY.

In FY 2022-23, £35.09 million was spent on the repair and maintenance of both occupied and unoccupied Service Family Accommodation.

In FY 2022-23, £8.4 million was spent on maintenance tasks for Single Living Accommodation (SLA). The majority of repair work to SLA is dealt with as part of the core contract for the Built Estate and cannot be separately reported.
