Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many soldiers made redundant under the Army 2020 programme have been evicted from family quarters.

As part of the Army 2020 programme, 7,280 Service personnel were made redundant in tranches 1 to 3 of the Armed Forces Redundancy Programme and around 1,000 personnel were selected in the fourth and final tranche, the majority of whom will have left the Army by June 2015. All personnel selected receive at least six months notice, twelve if they did not apply for redundancy. On leaving the Armed Forces, personnel cease to be entitled to occupy Service Family Accommodation (SFA). While the Ministry of Defence will always be as flexible as possible in order to allow families the maximum time to secure alternative accommodation, on occasions it becomes necessary to proceed to eviction action in order that properties can be made available to entitled Service families. To date, a total of three Army personnel made redundant under the Armed Forces Redundancy Programme have been evicted from SFA.
