Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will take steps with the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities to publicise the ability to join the Self and Custom Build register of any local authority in England among members of the Armed Forces.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD), through the Defence Transition Service, delivers an annual programme of civilian housing briefings to help inform and guide Service personnel and their families about the choices available to them and the need to plan ahead.

The MOD plans to incorporate appropriate reference to the Self and Custom Build register, to help raise awareness of it amongst the members of the Armed Forces community.
