Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Written Statement of 13 November 2023 on Service Family Accommodation and Winter Planning, HCWS28, what support his Department plans to provide to the 40 per cent of properties which have a damp and mould report raised but which will not have a mitigation package funded.

The remaining circa 1,700 Service Family Accommodation properties where damp and mould has been reported, reflect more minor incidences of damp and mould than those more severe, prioritised cases being tackled by the standardised mitigation packages These cases are being addressed through simple maintenance visits, with 1,419 of such tasks already complete.
