Army Reserve: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he can confirm what the budget allocation for funding the British Army’s active reserve is for this reporting period.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
The Strategic Defence Review is clear that Reserve Forces are integral to a future force, with an emphasis on increasing the proportion of trained, deployable and routinely utilised personnel. This Government is committed to increasing the proportion of active reserves by 20%, when funding allows.
