RAF Leuchars

(asked on 31st October 2016) - View Source

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans he has to invest in family accommodation for service personnel at (a) Leuchars and (b) elsewhere in North East Fife.


This question was answered on 8th November 2016

In Financial Year 2017-2018 investment to improve the quality of Service Family Accommodation (SFA) in Leuchars is programmed to include:

  • Replacement of 60 life cycle expired floor standing boilers;
  • Replacement of 100 heating systems;
  • Replacement roofs to 130 SFA.

There is currently no work programmed for SFA elsewhere in North East Fife.

The Ministry of Defence has recently introduced a new Combined Accommodation Assessment System (CAAS) which will offer a fairer, more transparent, simplified and modern approach. It will still consider a property's condition, size and location but will use modern, objective assessments.

We have committed that the receipts generated by CAAS will be reinvested to improve the accommodation we offer to Service personnel and their families.

The Future Accommodation Model is intended to offer more choice and flexibility to Service personnel, helping the military live in private accommodation and meet their wider aspirations for home ownership. The policy and associated implementation plans are still at an early stage of development and no decisions have been taken at this time.
