The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Answer of 4 June 2026 to Question 5467, what evidence base was used to conclude that the disposal of Prince William of Gloucester Barracks does not reduce Army Reserve training capacity; and whether that assessment will be published.

Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to him on 9 June 2026, to Question 5728

The Ministry of Defence remains committed to closing Prince William of Gloucester Barracks only when alternative Army Reserve basic training capacity is fully established and operational.
