Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many accommodation properties for armed forces personnel (a) owned or (b) maintained by his Department are in a state of disrepair.
The Department currently owns or maintains 47,929 Service Family Accommodation (SFA) properties. As of 1 January 2023, 2,895 of these properties are categorised as void and unavailable for allocation, due to their condition.
This does not necessarily mean that the home is in a state of disrepair, but they may require specific works or improvements that cannot be carried out while the property is occupied.
