Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to ensure the British army is able to train in trench warfare conditions across the defence estate.

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), through its contactors, maintain the Defence Training Estate (DTE) to ensure it provides suitable training facilities for the Armed Forces, which can include trench warfare. These are available to be booked by the Armed Forces for training as required.
