Armed Forces: Cadets
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential merits of establishing a Cadet Forces Day as part of Armed Forces Week.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
Whilst the Ministry of Defence (MOD) Cadet Forces are not part of the Armed Forces, they do firmly belong within the wider Defence family. It is therefore appropriate that they are recognised accordingly and we are planning to explore the viability of using Armed Forces Week to further raise awareness of the Cadet Forces. Cadets already contribute to Armed Forces Week, typically through locally organised events, and we will continue to encourage this.
