Question to the Ministry of Defence:

The table below shows the number of Service families who moved from their Service Family Accommodation to alternative temporary accommodation each month since 1 April 2022, as a result of heating or hot water problems.
April | 8 |
May | 3 |
June | 4 |
July | 2 |
August | 5 |
September | 11 |
October | 16 |
November | 18 |
December | 49 |

No home should be left without heating or hot water for more than 24 hours. Alternative forms of heating and sources of hot water, or alternative accommodation, are provided. If the offer of alternative accommodation is declined, the use of bathing facilities in a welfare house is provided.
Armed forces families do not live in Single Living Accommodation; therefore no information is held.
