Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the letter of 21 December 2023 from the Minister of Defence People and Families regarding the Haythornthwaite review of armed forces incentivisation, reference code 4/4/2/26/ap, when he plans to have the single recruiting service implemented.

I refer the right hon. Member to the answer I gave on 13 December 2023 to Question 5218 to the right hon. Member for Bournemouth East (Mr Tobias Ellwood) where I stated that the Recruiting Service will commence from January 2027.
