Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to improve the quality of military accommodation at (a) RAF Shawbury and (b) of armed forces personnel in the surrounding area.

The Ministry of Defence is currently undertaking an extensive review of its entire Service Family Accommodation portfolio, including RAF Shawbury. The review will also include how the Department will make best use of the properties that have been reacquired from Annington, and which homes and locations can most benefit from investment.

The Defence Housing Strategy, to be published later this year, will set out wider plans to improve the standard of SFA. The sites that will be refurbished are being worked through carefully, with the ambition to fairly make improvements across the UK.

No major improvement projects are currently planned for Single Living Accommodation at RAF Shawbury.
