Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the number of Armed Forces personnel.
This question was answered on 19th July 2022
The Integrated Review and Defence Command Paper made clear that we must focus on Defence capability rather than troop numbers in response to changing threats and priorities.
There are currently no plans to revise the current targets for the size of the Armed Forces. However, Defence will ensure our strategic approach remains threat-led and as threats emerge, Defence will respond accordingly.
