Armed Forces: Housing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with regard to the Defence Investment Plan, how many of the 14,000 military homes affected by delays in refurbishment are occupied by service personnel and their families.
Answered by Mr Calvin Bailey
The Ministry of Defence will publish its delivery timeline for the £9.2 billion Defence Housing Strategy over the next 12 months.
Work has already commenced on the 14,000 homes requiring substantial refurbishment, as set out in the Defence Housing Strategy. Over 1,250 military homes were improved last financial year, with more to be upgraded this year.
In addition refurbishment works have been instructed for 92 properties across Lossiemouth and Kinloss, covering kitchen, bathroom and boiler replacements. To date, 15 properties have been completed, with the remaining works progressing and scheduled for completion by August 2026.
