Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the overall standard of accommodation offered to UK Armed Forces personnel.
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) fully recognises that the provision of safe, good quality and well-maintained accommodation is essential to operational output, and providing such accommodation is one of the MOD’s top priorities.
Just under 97% of MOD Service Family Accommodation meet or exceed the Government’s Decent Homes Standard. Only these properties are allocated to Service families. In addition, they meet statutory and mandatory housing safety requirements.
