Armed Forces: Clubs
Asked by: Mike Wood (Conservative - Kingswinford and South Staffordshire) Monday 7th September 2026 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, further to the answer by Lord Coaker of 29 July 2026, to Question HL2207, on Armed Forces: Clubs, whether the review in private members’ clubs is considering single-sex clubs. Answered by Calvin Bailey - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for Veterans and People) The then Deputy Chief of the General Staff directed Corps and Regimental Associations to conduct their own reviews of their affiliations with private members’ clubs, including whether any associated clubs have rules, policies or practices that may not align with Army values of equality and respect.
This was not a centrally coordinated Army review. Rather, Corps and Regimental Associations were asked to consider their own arrangements, reflecting the fact that such affiliations are informal, privately funded and managed at Association level. Where concerns were identified, Associations were requested to consider engaging with the relevant club to advocate for change, or to disassociate where appropriate.
As the reviews were for individual Corps and Regimental Associations to undertake, there are no centrally held terms of reference, no single Army-wide timetable for completion, and no centrally produced final outcome or report to publish. Ministers were not asked to approve a central review, and there is no plan to make a statement to Parliament on this matter.
