No Armed Forces families have been displaced from their Service Family Accommodation either within barracks, or on housing estates close to their place of work, to house Afghan families.

No Service Families are on waiting lists or have been assigned accommodation a significant distance from their work because priority for housing was given to Afghan families.

The Ministry Of Defence’s priority is and will always remain, to accommodate Serving personnel and their families.
