Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the press release entitled Homes fit for heroes: Raft of new measures to improve military family housing, published on 18 April 2025, what steps he plans to take to help ensure that the New Consumer Charter for families in military homes will lead to higher move-in standards.

All families should be confident they are moving into a home that is clean and functional and we will continue to invest in preparing homes so that they are ready for families to move into. As part of this, we are introducing a more robust move in process, with greater assurances that all homes will be maintained, inspected, and prepared according to industry standards.

The Defence Housing Strategy, to be published later this year, will set out wider plans to improve the standard of service family homes.
