Defence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 91 of the Strategic Defence Review 2025, when he plans to introduce the Defence Readiness Bill.
Answered by Luke Pollard
We are developing proposals for inclusion in defence readiness legislation, including on potential military and civilian personnel requirements. That work will include consideration of the potential impacts of defence mobilisation in crisis or conflict on other areas. Any decisions on any future mobilisation will be taken in the context of the specific nature of the crisis and the circumstances applying at that time.
