Armed Forces: Housing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to improve accommodation standards for service personnel living in single living accommodation.

Answer

Enhancing the standard of accommodation, including single living accommodation (SLA) is essential to the morale and retention of Service personnel and is a priority within the Defence infrastructure portfolio.

Defence is committed under the Strategic Defence Review to deliver a generational renewal of military accommodation, with at least £7 billion of funding in this Parliament which includes investing in new SLA. Delivery of new, modernised SLA is already underway, with the Defence Investment Plan set to articulate the level of investment in new and refurbished SLA over the next 10 years.
