The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to his Department's press release Homes fit for heroes: Raft of new measures to improve military family housing published on 18 April 2025, what are they main components of the defence housing strategy.

Answered by Al Carns

The Defence Housing Strategy, planned for publication later this year, will set out a roadmap to deliver a generational renewal of military accommodation, where the main objective is to raise the minimum standard of Armed Forces housing.

It will also turbocharge the development of surplus military land creating opportunities for Armed Forces home ownership and support the delivery of affordable homes for families across Britain as part of the Government’s Plan for Change.
