Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many complaints regarding (a) gas, (b) electrical and (c) water issues have been recorded in Single Living Accommodation in each UK local authority area in each year since 2018.

Information on how many complaints regarding gas, electrical and water issues have been recorded in Single Living Accommodation (SLA) in each UK local authority area in each year since 2018 is not held centrally and can only be provided at a disproportionate cost.

Enhancing the standard of accommodation, including SLA is essential to the morale and retention of Service personnel and is a priority within the Defence infrastructure portfolio.

Defence is committed under the Strategic Defence Review to deliver a generational renewal of military accommodation. Delivery of new, modernised SLA is already underway, with further detail on the investment in new and refurbished SLA to be set out in due course.
