Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what lessons his Department has learned for the future provision of service accommodation from the Single Living Accommodation Modernisation project.

Lessons learnt from the Single Living Accommodation Modernisation project include that it provided value for money through standardisation of design, and economies of scale through a managed pipeline of projects.

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) is continuing to realise these benefits through our Single Living Accommodation Programmatic Approach.

Standard designs have been developed in consultation with the front-line commands and industry partners.

Design layouts have been amended to provide better functional spaces in bedrooms and common areas.

The design of building fabric and services has been improved to achieve through life Net Zero Carbon requirements.
