Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress he has made in improving the condition of service family accommodation in Scotland.

The Scottish Service Family Accommodation (SFA) estate comprises 3,041 homes. As of 28 October 2026, 97% of these SFA properties meet or exceed the Decent Homes Standard. We do not allocate homes below this standard for families to occupy.

237 SFA homes have been improved or substantially upgraded, according to their individual condition and requirements with a £18.3 million investment over the last three financial years. A further 103 properties are undergoing extensive improvement works in the current financial year.

In addition, there has also been wider estate improvements, including refurbishment of a children's play park for Service families and the Capital Purchase Programme has delivered 75 new-build SFA homes across Scotland in the last four years.
