Armed Forces: Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make an estimate of the number of homes on the defence estate that could be brought back into use in the next 12 months.
Answered by Luke Pollard
During financial year 2024-25 the Ministry of Defence (MOD) plans to refurbish circa 200 long-term empty Service Family Accommodation properties, to bring them back into use for Service families. Data for the number of houses that could be bought back into use in financial year 2025-26 is not held as financial budgets have not yet been agreed.
The programme of extensive refurbishments to long-term empty houses was launched in September 2023 and has allowed the MOD to significantly increase the number of high-quality homes available to Service families.
