Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Reserve Forces Review 2030, published in 2021, for what reason his Department has not responded to that review to date; and when his Department plans to respond to that review.

Work is underway across Defence to transform the systems, policies, and processes by which we draw on and leverage the critical contributions made by our reserve forces, informed by the headmark and vision set out in the Reserves Forces 2030 Review. The Government will provide an update on this work in due course.
