The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what funding his Department has allocated for the maintenance and improvement of buildings and other infrastructure used by the cadet forces.

Answered by Luke Pollard

The information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

As part of our plan to increase the cadets by 30% by 2030 we are looking at the cadet estate. Investment in the defence estate is long overdue and investment decisions more broadly on the defence estate will be made as part of the Defence Investment Plan.
