Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the oral contribution of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence of 15 January 2018, Official Report, column 599, whether rental allowances for armed forces personnel under the Future Accommodation Model will be linked to local market rent prices.
This question was answered on 24th January 2018
The accommodation allowance will have a geographical factor which we will use to shield Service personnel from variations in rental costs. The allowance will be enough to rent the home they need at broadly the same cost as Service accommodation, regardless of where they live in the country.
