Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the oral contribution by the Minister of State for the Armed Forces of 10 July 2017, Official Report, column 11, whether he plans for the Navy to grow by 400 more personnel than the current 29,430 regular personnel, or the 30,060 regular personnel serving at the time of that policy announcement in 2015.

The Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) 2015 committed to an increase in the size of the Royal Navy of 400 personnel to 30,600 by 2025. This represents an uplift of 1,600 over the 2010 SDSR position.
