The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the potential merots of opening a second Army Foundational College in the south of England.

Answered by Ministry of Defence

We are committed to addressing the Army’s recruitment and training inflow challenge and supporting Government priorities on skills, employment, social mobility and opportunities for young people, but no final decisions on a second junior entry college have been taken.
