Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to streamline the transition between regular and reserve service.
This question was answered on 11th February 2026
As part of a wider programme to enable a more flexible workforce we are examining our policies and regulations to make transition between all parts of the Armed Forces as seamless as possible. The first step in this is a measure in the Armed Forces Bill 2026 that will enable service people to transfer between the Regular Force and the Volunteer Reserve without having to leave and rejoin.
