Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what consultation process he has put in place for the chair of the people committee’s review into his Department’s progress implementing the Wigston review recommendations.
At the request of the Secretary of State, Danuta Gray (Non-Executive Director and Chair of the People Committee) agreed to conduct a 'one year on' review of the Wigston Report. The review commenced on the first anniversary of the Wigston Report (15 July 2020) and will run for three months. It will examine the progress that has been made by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) Head Office and the Armed Forces in implementing the recommendations. In conducting the review, Ms Gray is keen to understand the experience and perspective of the widest range of Defence personnel possible and will therefore engage with senior officers from the single Services and MOD Civil Service, as well as a broad range of personnel at ranks and grades below that. A report will be published later in the year.
