This memorandum has been prepared to support the Committee of Public Accounts’ consideration of the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD’s) provision of accommodation to its service personnel. It focuses on accommodation provided to service families in the UK because of recent decreases in service personnel’s satisfaction with Service Family Accommodation and the introduction of the new Combined Accommodation Assessment System to calculate charges that service families pay. It does not look at wider issues related to the MoD’s management of its estate. The memorandum is based on publicly available information and data provided to us by the MoD. This data has not been subject to a full audit. MoD has agreed the facts and their presentation.
