Reserve Forces
Asked by: Derek Twigg (Labour - Widnes and Halewood) Monday 10th March 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate his Department has made of the current shortfall in the (a) Army Reserve, (b) RAF Reserve, (c) Royal Navy Reserve and (d) Royal Marines Reserve. Answered by Al Carns - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for Veterans) I am grateful for the contribution of our Reserve Forces who provide the UK with the ability to meet the threats we face at home and overseas, with the scale, skills, agility and connection to society that it needs, in a cost-effective way.
The requested information is published in the Quarterly Service Personnel Statistics, the latest edition of which (1 January 2025) can be found at the following address: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/quarterly-service-personnel-statistics-2025/quarterly-service-personnel-statistics-1-january-2025#future-reserves-2020-fr20-programme-monitoring |

Army: Food
Asked by: Derek Twigg (Labour - Widnes and Halewood) Monday 10th March 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when the most recent survey of Army personnel on the quality of food served to them was undertaken. Answered by Maria Eagle - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) Delivering high quality and varied food to Service personnel is important to both the Army and the Department. The Army regularly provides opportunities for its personnel to provide feedback and encourages them to do so.
The most recent survey undertaken occurred in 2021, whereby the Army undertook the Army Messing Survey The feedback from this survey informed the development of the Army EATS (Exploring the Appetites of Today Soldiers) report. Not only did the survey collate personnel feedback relating to the quality of food, but also feedback on serving hours, environment and the method of service provided.
Acting on the results of this, in 2024 Defence launched the Defence Catering Strategy, which aims to improve food provision across the entire Armed Forces and provides new menus for Service personnel. The strategy also encourages personnel to regularly provide feedback through a wide variety of existing means so that we can continually improve food quality across Defence.

Asked by: Derek Twigg (Labour - Widnes and Halewood) Monday 10th March 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which countries the Army sourced chicken from for its personnel's meals in the past five years. Answered by Maria Eagle - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) This information is not held.
Under the terms of the Ministry of Defences’ (MOD) food contracts, the procurement of all produce is the responsibility of the prime contractors. All food procured for MOD personnel must comply with MOD food quality standards which, in turn, comply with all UK and EU production standards, Farm Assurance or equivalent. |
