Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 71 of the Strategic Defence Review 2025, published on 8 July 2025, what recent progress he has made on developing a two-way secondment programme.
This question was answered on 18th October 2025
The Ministry of Defence currently has provisions in place for formal inward and outward secondments, which are used successfully across the Armed Forces and Civil Service. We are now exploring options for developing a similar, less formal arrangement, reviewing its potential benefits for Defence and evaluating our capacity to adapt and manage the workforce effectively.
