Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what proportion of new homes will be built on surplus military land over the next four years.

The Secretary of State for Defence has identified the long-term opportunity to build over 100,000 homes on surplus defence land, improving opportunities for homeownership and creating jobs across the country. This includes a commitment to building and modernising family homes for the Armed Forces and Veterans, delivering on our commitments to British families and our Armed Forces.

Work is underway with HM Treasury, the Ministry of Defence, and Homes England to establish opportunities to accelerate delivery with trailblazer sites at Ripon, Chilwell and Wyton.

It is not possible to indicate the exact proportion of new homes that will be delivered on surplus military land over the next four years
