Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of expanding the responsibilities of the Chief of Defence Logistics and Support.
A review of the Support Function was commissioned by the Vice Chief of the Defence Staff (VCDS) and Commander UK Strategic Command (UKStratCom). It concluded that the Support Function should implement a series of adjustments to the current operating model to tighten the Chief of Defence Logistics and Support’s (CDLS’) delivery responsibilities, enhance his authority and influence, and clarify his role across Defence.
