Reserve Forces
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 8 June 2026 to question 4921 on Reserve Forces, by when he will have assessed the feasibility of developing a new force modelled on the Reserves which connects local communities with Defence.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
On SDR recommendation 27, MOD is developing options for the protection of critical national infrastructure in the event of crisis or conflict, including exploring the development of a new force that is modelled on the Reserves and connects local communities with Defence. We remain on track to present plans to the Secretary of State by December 2026 and will provide public updates in due course.
