Armed Forces: Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of construction costs on the armed forces estate modernisation programme.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Defence Housing Strategy sets out a vision for the future renewal of the Service family estate, is backed by a 10-year programme of investment to deliver its recommendations in full.
Nine out of ten Defence family homes will be improved, and service standards will be improved for all families. I hope the hon. Member will understand, until the recommendations in the Strategy have final implementation plans, the Ministry of Defence cannot confirm the future intent for military housing or construction costs.
