Dr. Murrison

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 25 June 2002,Official Report, column 749W, on married quarters, what criteria are used to assign standards to service families accommodation. [66230]

Mr. Ingram

The Defence Housing Executive (DHE) uses a Standard for Condition rating system. Properties are categorised as being Standard 1, 2, 3 or 4 according to points for each of a number of attributes including bathroom and kitchen facilities, electrical sockets, building fabric, safety, and energy efficiency. A property is graded Standard 1 for Condition (SIFC) only if all the attributes are assessed as being at Standard 1.
