What the petition asks

In 1996 the MOD sold 57400 homes to Annington Homes and agreed to rent them back for 200 years.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has been accused of exacerbating the housing crisis as it emerged it has stockpiled 10,000 empty homes, the Public Accounts Committee has said.

4677 people sleeping rough in the UK. Over 600 died last year.

At least 13,000 of our war heroes are homeless after leaving the military.

The Ministry of Defence has lost up to £4.2bn through a decision to sell off military housing in 1996, according to a report by the National Audit Office.
