US EditionUK Boosts Military Housing with £1.5 Billion Investment
- The UK government announced a £1.5 billion investment to improve military family housing over the next five years as part of the strategic defence review.
- This investment comes as part of the strategic defence review initiated in the previous year under Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, aimed at modernizing the UK’s military in response to escalating global challenges.
- The funding will support urgent repairs such as fixing boilers, roofs, tackling damp, and enable further housing development to improve living standards.
- Defence Secretary John Healey described it as a "record increase" and said military families have long endured substandard homes that "you or I wouldn’t tolerate."
- While the Liberal Democrats welcomed the commitment, spokeswoman Helen Maguire urged the government to fully meet the decent homes standard for all military accommodation.
