Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have any immediate plans to increase the overall size of the British Army.
This question was answered on 4th April 2023
The Ministry of Defence is reviewing whether it is now right to reduce the Regular Army to 73,000, as planned under Future Soldier. That process is ongoing.
Defence's plans to modernise the force will be outlined in an update to the Defence Command Paper to be published before the summer.
Any specific policy changes or updates required related to defence capability and force design will be determined following the publication of the Defence Command Paper.
