Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the capacity of the Army Training Centre Pirbright to accommodate (a) the Army Reserve basic training programme currently delivered at Army Training Regiment Grantham and (b) the recommended 20% increase in the Army Reserve.

The co-location of the Army Reserve training capability with regular Army Training at Pirbright enables more efficient and flexible delivery of training. Resourcing and capacity to meet future requirements, including the recommended 20% increase in the Army Reserve, are routinely being reviewed to ensure they remain adequate.
