- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Goldie on 7 March (HL6243), what assessment they have made of the empty property figure of 20 per cent for Service Family Accommodation; and what steps they plan to take, if any, to reduce that figure.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Defence (MOD) recognises it has too many vacant Service Family Accommodation (SFA) properties across the Defence estate. The current void SFA rate is 18% . The MOD aims to reduce this to no greater than 10% through an increase in occupation by Service Personnel and a targeted disposal plan.
Each year, approximately 15,000 Service Personnel and their families move for operational reasons; the MOD needs to retain vacant SFA to respond to this demand.
