PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Armed Forces: Housing (12 June 2023)

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has processes in place to support people affected by repair works on military accommodation property taking longer than two weeks to resolve.

Asked by:
Helen Morgan (Liberal Democrat)

There are no specific processes at the two-week point. All cases are considered based on individual circumstances, such as whether a family is at risk of harm (particularly if there is a vulnerable person present in the household) or are experiencing significant hardship or inconvenience and the matter cannot be quickly resolved or mitigated (e.g. through the use of temporary heaters); temporary accommodation should then be provided as appropriate.
