Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answers of 23 June 2022 to Questions 21223 and 21225 on Armed Forces: Pastoral Care and the Answer of 23 June 2022 to Question 21224 on Armed Forces: Ministers of Religion and Pastoral Care, if he will place the report of the review into the requirement for the provision of non-religious pastoral support to the armed forces in the Library of the House.

The recommendations of the review are being considered by the Ministry of Defence and remain in use in support of the formulation of Government policy. For this reason, there are no plans to place a copy of the review in the Library of the House at present. When the review is no longer required for live policy formulation, the merits of making it more widely available will be given consideration in due course.
