answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2017 answer text <p>The provision of quality accommodation to our Service personnel is of the utmost importance and is at the heart of the Armed Forces Covenant. Currently around 94% of UK Service Family Accommodation (SFA) some 46,230 properties are at the Decent Homes standard or above. Only SFA at those standards will be allocated to new occupants. Through the Ministry of Defence's (MOD) Single Living Accommodation (SLA) Modernisation (SLAM) project and other projects some 54,000 bed spaces have been delivered across the estate at over 52 locations. The MOD is developing a new SLA management infrastructure system to provide more accurate data on SLA condition, scale and utilisation. This will enable more effective and consistent management and allocation of SLA, and allow the MOD to target its investment more effectively on sites where we have a long-term requirement.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 13/03/2017 17:15:11 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
