Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when he plans to announce the location of the headquarters of the Special Operations Brigade.
Following the Secretary of State's announcement to the House on 22 March of the creation of the Special Operations Brigade built around the four battalions of the new Ranger Regiment, the Army will now undertake a period of refinement and testing its future structures and capabilities. Once the conclusions from this work have been endorsed by Ministers then we will be in a position to provide more detail.
