Armed Forces: Housing
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to improve military housing.
- Answer
-
The last government had 14 years to fix Defence family housing and failed, delivering instead record low levels of satisfaction.
We reversed the disastrous privatisation of military housing.
And our landmark £9 billion housing strategy will renew or repair 9 in 10 homes and we are legislating to create a new Defence Housing Service which will put the interests of service personnel first.
We have already rapidly improved military homes transforming 1,000 of the worst homes – ahead of schedule.
Labour has delivered more in eighteen months than the party opposite managed in fourteen years.
