As the House will know, earlier this year, the MOD announced an additional £1.5 billion investment in service family accommodation as part of a £7 billion commitment over the next five years, and in the coming months, the Government will publish a defence housing strategy, setting out clear renewal standards and further steps to improve accommodation for the men and women who serve our country. Importantly, those renewal standards will apply to the whole UK defence estate, ensuring that the different nations of the UK are not subject to different decency standards, as would be the case under Lords amendment 39.
