Communities and Local Government written question – answered am ar 14 Mawrth 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for Defence on housing for British forces and their families returning from Germany.
This Department and MOD continue to discuss matters of shared interest including housing for service personnel and their families.
The Secretary of State for Defence, my right hon. Friend Mr Hammond, announced on
Service personnel and their families have already been given priority for Government affordable home ownership schemes, including FirstBuy. Additionally, I have recently made changes to legislation to make it easier for service personnel to access social housing, and statutory guidance has been issued to councils on how their allocation schemes can give priority to current or ex-service personnel, for example using local preference criteria or local lettings policies.
