To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 5 December 2017 to Question 116297 when he plans to publish the amended drill manual (a) online and (b) in hard copy; and where hard copies will be made available.

The Army plans to publish an Army Briefing Note highlighting the amendments to the drill manual before Christmas.

The amended manual is being printed, and will be sent to units in early 2018.
