Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how he will measure improvements in armed forces accommodation in the next decade.

The Single Services and the Defence Infrastructure Organisation already report on the use and quality of Defence Accommodation. With the forthcoming publication of the Defence Accommodation Strategy (DAS), new Key Performance Indicators will be agreed between the People and Infrastructure areas of Defence. These will be brought together in delivery plans for the DAS to be reported on quarterly. As the DAS refreshes and evolves, these targets will become more ambitious and we will strive for greater improvements in the quality of our accommodation and how we manage it.
