Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he has taken to increase the number of deployable divisions in the Army.
The British Army has two deployable divisions: 1st (UK) Division and 3rd (UK) Division. Whilst there are no plans to increase the number of deployable divisions in the British Army, under the Future Soldier programme the Army will modernise the divisions to ensure they are fit for purpose to counter the threats of today and the future.
