Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many homes his Department owns in East Wiltshire constituency; and how many of those (a) have Ministry of Defence tenants, (b) have private tenants and (c) are vacant.

As of 4 July 2025, there are 4,739 Service Family Accommodation (SFA) properties in East Wiltshire that are owned by the Ministry of Defence (MOD).

Of the 4,739 SFA properties:

a) 3,717 SFA are occupied by Service families.

b) 317 SFA are sublet to private tenants.

c) 705 SFA are vacant. 307 of these are available to be occupied (177 have been allocated to Service families to move into) and 398 are classed as void unavailable and therefore currently unavailable to be occupied.

The MOD is currently undertaking an extensive review of its entire estate, including 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 to be brought back online, refurbished, and renovated for the use of Service families.
