New Defence Minimum Standard for SLA welcomed, conditional on rectifying unacceptable conditions.

Conclusion
The introduction of a new Defence Minimum Standard (DMS) for SLA is a long-awaited and very welcome step forward, if it ensures that personnel are no longer living in unacceptable conditions and does not simply result in sub-standard accommodation being recognised but not rectified. (Conclusion, Paragraph 114)
