Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to insulate its housing stock to help meet Government targets to reduce carbon emissions.

The Ministry of Defence has taken significant steps in improving insulation in Service Family Accommodation (SFA). In the last three years, the Department has invested £90 million to enhance over 10,000 SFA. Works have included fitting External Wall Insulation (EWI), new double glazed doors and windows and loft insulation.

The Department has delivered 2,458 EWI improvements, 2,509 new double glazed doors and windows 1,250 loft insulations.
