Armed Forces: Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much of the (a) £7bn of funding for military accommodation and (b) the £1.5bn investment for rapid work on forces family housing will be spent in Scotland.
Answered by Al Carns
The Ministry of Defence is currently undertaking an extensive review of its entire military accommodation portfolio, 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.
The Defence Housing Strategy, to be published later this year, will set out wider plans to improve the standard of Service family homes. The sites that will be refurbished are being worked through carefully, with the ambition to fairly make improvements across the devolved nations within the UK. It is too early to say where funding will be spent.
