Military Housing Standards Risk Personnel Exodus, MPs Warn
Military accommodation suffers from damp and mould, prompting concerns that personnel may leave the armed forces if conditions do not improve. A Commons defence committee report reveals two-thirds of service family homes require extensive refurbishment, with ongoing issues highlighted despite recent funding. Single-living accommodations also face significant problems, with many residents indicating increased intentions to leave the military. The Ministry of Defence admits funding is insufficient to meet modern living standards, raising doubts about future investments needed for proper upgrades.
