Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to implement the Modernised Accommodation Offer.

This Government is clear that our people are our greatest strength, and provision of Service accommodation is essential to their operational effectiveness. An attractive accommodation offer helps deliver military capability and contributes to retaining Service personnel.

Changes to family accommodation entitlements under the Modernised Accommodation Offer are still under review and will be confirmed in due course. The Ministry of Defence remains committed to widening the entitlement to family accommodation to maintain a mobile, deployable, and winning force, whilst also meeting the varying needs of all its people. This includes widening entitlement to those personnel with children resident over 80 nights per year.
