The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Answer of 9 June 2026 to Question 5728, how the commitment to close Prince William of Gloucester Barracks only when alternative Army Reserve basic training capacity is fully established and operational can be reconciled with the Army Reserve Basic Training Review, which has not yet determined the future delivery of Army Reserve basic training across the United Kingdom.

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.
