Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much does his Department plan on spending on Single Living Accommodation in this Parliament.

The Government is committed to improving the living conditions of Service personnel. The Defence Investment Plan includes £1.4 billion over this Parliament for Single Living Accommodation, supporting the modernisation of accommodation and improvements to living standards across the Defence estate.

Accommodation improvements are being delivered through a number of programmes, including Defence Estate Optimisation, Future Defence Infrastructure Services, and the SLA Framework Alliance, which are now moving into major delivery phases.

Defence launched an independent Single Living Accommodation and Overseas Estate Review in January 2026 to identify further opportunities to improve the lived experience of Service personnel and ensure accommodation better supports capability and retention scheduled to report Autumn 2026.

Alongside accommodation investment, the Department is continuing to implement the Defence Catering Strategy to improve food quality, dining facilities and the overall experience of personnel living and working on the Defence estate.
