Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government on the delivery of Homes for Heroes.

The Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister have made clear that ensuring veterans and their families can access housing support is a priority.

At a roundtable in November with the Housing Minister and veteran housing organisations, we discussed the removal of the local connection and residency test for veterans applying for social housing in England, which is now in force.

I also attend the Inter-Ministerial Group on Homelessness and Rough Sleeping, driving progress on our cross-Government homelessness strategy.
