Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his Department's press release Homes fit for heroes: Raft of new measures to improve military family housing published on 18 April 2025, how many families will each named housing office be responsible for under the new consumer charter.

The number of families each named Housing Officer will be responsible for under the new Consumer Charter, will vary depending on the number of Service families based at each location across the Defence estate.

Work is currently underway to review Housing Officer duties, roles and responsibilities, along with the current structure. A new Housing Officer Vision has been rolled out via recent Housing Officer workshops.
