Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will take steps with (a) the Scottish Government and (b) Scottish veterans charities to help increase the construction of homes specifically for veterans.
The Office for Veterans' Affairs (OVA) in the Cabinet Office is responsible for cross-government and UK wide coordination of efforts to support veterans. The £20 million Veteran Capital Housing Fund is being administered by the Covenant Fund Trust on behalf of the OVA:

The Ministry of Defence is not responsible for the housing provision for veterans. Housing in Scotland is a devolved matter and charities are independent of the government. It would be a decision for the Scottish Government and Scottish veterans' charities if they wish to build homes exclusively for veterans.
