However, I reassure the Committee that the Government remain committed to improving single living accommodation. The points that the noble Baroness made about single living accommodation were well made and really important. It is just that we see the DHS as dealing with family living accommodation, and the independent review is considering what we do to improve the standard of single living accommodation and will report its conclusions in due course. It is not that we disagree with the noble Baroness about the importance of improving single living accommodation; it is that we believe that we need to do that through the alternative review I mentioned, which, as I said, was launched in January 2026 and builds on the defence housing strategy for family living accommodation.
