Chief of Defence Staff Admiral Sir Tony Radakin enjoys a £62,000-a-year property with staff costing an extra £113,000.

Chief of General Staff General Sir Patrick Sanders has a £29,000-a-year home with a £101,000 staff bill.

A spokesman admitted some personnel were “not receiving the level of accommodation services they deserve”.
