Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of housing provision for service personnel.

Circa 97% of Service Family Accommodation (SFA) meets or exceeds the Government's Decent Homes Standard. Only these properties should be allocated to families.

Investment to maintain and improve the quality of SFA in the United Kingdom continues. Circa £445 million is forecast to be spent for this Financial Year 2024-25.

Despite efforts to improve accommodation quality, challenges persist. Work is underway with the Defence Housing Strategy Review which started following the completion of the Annington Deal in January 2025. The Military Housing Strategy planned for publication in Summer 2025 will set out a roadmap to deliver a generational renewal of military accommodation.
