Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the maximum occupancy per housing unit is for people temporarily housed in Service Family Accommodation in the UK under the ARAP Scheme.
The Ministry of Defence uses the Housing Act 1985 (space standard) when allocating ARAP eligible persons to Temporary Service Family Accommodation (SFA). The maximum occupancy per house therefore varies accordance to number of bedrooms available, and the ages of the eligible persons in each family.
On average, there are currently six people (including children) housed in temporary SFAs (excluding Temporary Reception, Staging and Onward Moving sites) across the United Kingdom.
