MoD allocates additional £1.5bn to housing



The Ministry of Defence has allocated an additional £1.5bn for forces family housing as part of its upcoming strategic defence review.


This brings the total spent on military accommodation to over £7bn in the current parliament.

Much of the new funding will be used to target repairs and maintenance issues, alongside the development of new forces housing.

“For too long, many military families have lived in sub-standard homes, but this government is taking decisive action to fix the dire state of military accommodation and ensure that our heroes and their loved ones live in the homes they deserve,” said John Healey, defence secretary.

“We are investing and acting fast, to fix forces’ housing and renew the nation’s contract with those who serve and deliver on our Plan for Change.”
