Question to the Ministry of Defence:
What steps his Department has taken to maintain the overall size of the armed forces since the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review.
This question was answered on 21st September 2020
We have made significant progress in delivering the aims of the last Strategic Defence and Security Review. But the global picture has changed since 2015, and we must adapt to the new threats that confront us. That is why the Prime Minister has commissioned the Integrated Review.
I can assure the House that this Government is committed to ensuring that the United Kingdom continues to have the world-class Armed Forces that it needs and deserves.
