Mr Hammond
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. That is our intention and it is what the previous Government signally failed to do.
Jim McGovern (Dundee West) (Lab)
Earlier, we heard about morale in the armed forces. I regret to report that, apparently, morale is low in the Royal Marines Reserve detachment in my constituency, because of uncertainty about its future. I wrote to the Secretary of State for Defence in January, raised the matter in Prime Minister’s questions in February and today I am raising it for the third month in succession. What does the future hold for the RMR detachment in Dundee?
The Minister for the Armed Forces (Nick Harvey)
That is part of our ongoing review. I shall come back to the hon. Gentleman with more details as soon as we have finalised our decisions.
