Armed Forces: Moray West, Nairn, and Strathspey
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to increase the provision of Ministry of Defence accommodation for service personnel in long-term relationships in Moray West, Nairn and Strathspey constituency.
Answered by Ministry of Defence
The Defence Housing Strategy sets out a deliverable, sustainable approach to widening access to subsidised Service Family Accommodation for those in established long-term relationships, or with shared parental responsibilities. This prioritises a funded programme to build, buy and bring homes back into use and over time to ensure that all qualifying Service personnel can have their family housing needs met, better reflecting modern families and relationships.
As part of this commitment, we are making 1,000 additional homes available across the estate this financial year alone, enabled by the £9.2bn of funding allocated to Defence family housing in the Defence Investment Plan.
