Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the performance of new online recruitment system for the Armed Forces.
The Defence Recruiting System went live on 13 November 2017 and will enable a quicker and easier recruitment process for applicants and the Armed Forces. As with any new information system defects have been identified post the go live date. The Ministry of Defence expects Capita to address these issues as soon as possible and I am monitoring their progress closely.
