Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the scale of military accommodation held in reserve for possible reservists or a requirement for mobilisation; and what assessment they have made as to whether a part of this accommodation could be used to house migrants and asylum seekers on a temporary basis.

The Ministry of Defence does not routinely hold accommodation vacant to utilise in the mobilisation of reserves. Under HMT guidelines the Ministry of Defence is obligated to dispose of surplus estates, an obligation we are fulfilling through the Defence Estates Optimisation portfolio and other estate rationalisation programmes.
