He has also stated that he is deeply disappointed that the Ministry of Defence has refused to allow serving personnel the dispensation to contribute to this Military Housing Sub-Committee. He strongly believes this to be the wrong decision and has written to the Secretary of State, Grant Shapps MP, to make this clear to him and to request for this decision to be reviewed. Nevertheless, he advises that the Sub-Committee is still accepting submissions of evidence from service personnel and their families, but these submissions will be anonymous and treated confidentially.
Meanwhile illegal migrants are to be housed in "at least three star" hotels. Unbelievable that we should come to this. Shame on the successive governments, shame on MoD and shame on the complicit civil servants and contractors.
Shame on them.
