I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Defence (Michael Fallon) to the hon. Member for Stroud (Neil Carmichael) during Defence Questions on 8 June (Official Report, column 889).

Deployment timelines will depend on coalition needs but expect that the expansion will be complete in around three months.
