Military housing: high time for Govt to "get out of the slow lane" and apply decent homes standard

31 May 2025

EMBARGO: 00:01 Saturday 31 May

Responding to the Government’s military housing announcement today [Saturday 31 May], Helen Maguire MP, Liberal Democrat Defence Spokesperson, said:

"We've been fighting for the Government to get out of the slow lane when it comes to fixing the homes of our military families for years. After years of the Conservatives turning a blind eye, I'm glad to see this Government has finally come to their senses and listened.

"Those bravely defending our country deserve proper housing without leaks, mould, floods and freezing temperatures.

"But it's disappointing to see the Government refuse to commit to bring all military homes under the decent homes standard - a change the Lib Dems will continue to champion, so no military family has to suffer in a second-rate home.”
