National Armaments Director Group: Armed Forces

Asked by James CartlidgeConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 23 April 2025UIN 45050

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether there will be equal levels of single service representation for (a) the National Armaments Director Group and (b) its supporting staff.

Answered by Maria Eagle

It is too early to specify the overall staffing requirements and Service representation levels for the new organisational structure created as part of Defence Reform. This will be subject to refinement as planned implementation continues, and in response to operational and policy requirements as they emerge.

It is, however, anticipated that the guiding principle of military post rotation within the single Services will continue to apply in the new structure.
