Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to prioritise the allocation of homes built on surplus military land to (a) serving armed forces personnel and (b) veterans to create opportunities for Armed Forces homeownership.

The Defence Housing Strategy, planned for publication later this year, will set out a roadmap to deliver a generational renewal of military accommodation, where the main objective is to raise the minimum standard of Armed Forces housing.

It will also turbocharge the development of surplus military land creating opportunities for Armed Forces home ownership and support the delivery of affordable homes for families across Britain as part of the Government’s Plan for Change.
