Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to address the workforce capability, capacity and resource constraints identified in the National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority annual report.

The Ministry of Defence is addressing workforce capability, capacity and resource challenges through the actions set out in the Strategic Defence Review, Defence Industrial Strategy, and the Defence Investment Plan. This includes £182 million for a defence skills package to attract, develop and retain a skilled workforce, and over £290 million for defence nuclear skills. These measures, alongside Defence Reform, will strengthen delivery capacity and support major programme delivery.
