Prince William of Gloucester Barracks
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what use is made of the training area at Prince William of Gloucester Barracks; and what equivalent facilities will be available at receiving locations following the planned closure of that site.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
The training area adjacent to Prince William of Gloucester Barracks is currently used by resident units for basic training activity, and by other units in the region for driving training. Following the planned closure of the Barracks, these training requirements will be provided at the receiving units’ new locations and elsewhere across the Defence Estate.
The Prince William of Gloucester Barracks is not designated as a mobilisation and mounting centre for Reserve forces nor is it required for such purposes.
