I have not served in the armed forces, but like many other Members I have had the privilege of being part of the armed forces parliamentary scheme, through which we get to visit bases around the country, as I did with the RAF last year. The personnel we met are proud—they are proud not just of their service, but of their families—but they want homes for those families as well, and the homes that they have vary massively. We have seen some great examples of what can be done, but we have also seen examples of things that have not been dealt with for generations. We owe it to them to ensure a future for them and their families in that accommodation.
