Andrew Gwynne – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Gwynne on 2014-05-06.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many veterans have bought a house through the Forces Help to Buy Scheme since its establishment in April 2014.

Anna Soubry

The Forces Help to Buy Scheme launched on 1 April 2014 is designed to assist members of the Armed Forces in purchasing a home. The scheme is for serving personnel, but those being made redundant will be eligible.

For details on the support available to veterans, I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 28 April 2014 (Official Report, column 442W) to the hon. Member for Windsor (Adam Afriyie).
