Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department plans to spend on military accommodation in Suffolk Coastal constituency in each of the next five financial years.

The Defence Housing Strategy includes an extensive review of our entire Service Family Accommodation (SFA) portfolio to determine how we will utilise our properties. I expect we will be able to provide details of our future intentions when the review is completed.

There are 225 SFA properties located in the Suffolk Coastal constituency of which, 60 (27%) are currently unoccupied. 41 of these SFA are ready to be occupied by families and 19 require improvement works before they can be allocated to Service families.
