A third of armed forces families in Ministry of Defence housing are unhappy with the standard of their home, it has been revealed.
A National Audit Office survey of over 12,000 families found that 31% were living in poor quality housing.
The body also found that it could take the MoD 20 years to get all its housing stock up to decent standards.
More than 9,000 properties - or 18% - are currently standing empty.
Service personnel and their families routinely suffer from long waits for repairs, whilst others complain of their children having to live in damp accomodation which is affecting their health.
Is this the homecoming our heroes should expect?
