CONFERENCE UPDATE -

At Conference 2008 Commander Regional Forces promised Military Liaison Officers for HICs in the South.

Military Liaison Officers will be appointed to three Housing Information Centres (HICs) by the end of August/September; a temporary Military Liaison Officer is already covering Warminster and Aldershot HICs.

Military Liaison Officers will provide a way of re-engaging the Chain of Command with the housing allocation process, and will provide HICs with both military and local knowledge to assist with allocations.
