Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which locations he is considering for the future location of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment.

The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment will continue to require a central London location to ensure that its standards of State Ceremonial and Public Duties are maintained.

Currently, the Ministry of Defence is considering the feasibility of the Regiment operating from elsewhere within central London, taking full account of its equine requirements and the specific demands of the State Ceremonial and Public Duties outputs.

Other sites would be considered only if they meet the regiment's specific needs.
