Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many and what proportion of houses rented by his Department have been unoccupied in each of the last five years; and how much rent his Department has paid for those houses in each of those years.

The table below details how many and what proportion of houses rented by the Defence Infrastructure Organisation, have been unoccupied.

Exact rental figures on empty properties are not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
