What steps he is taking to support cadets. My question relates to supporting cadet centres such as the TS Pelican in Ruislip, a vital part of our armed forces community. However, given that the Government have decided to cut funding for these groups, can you tell me what progress is being made with private sector investment?

Cadet centres such as the TS Pelican in Ruislip are a vital part of our armed forces community, but given that the Government have decided to cut the funding that supports our cadet groups, can the Minister tell us what progress is being made with private sector investment that the Government have said will backfill the consequences of those cuts?

I recently visited the sea cadets in Stafford, and it was brilliant. They are somehow thriving, despite being about 70 miles from the nearest coastline. What they lack in coastline, they very much make up for in enthusiasm. Unlike some of the Army and air cadet units, sea cadets are run as a charity and miss out on the cadet expansion programme funding. Will the Minister tell me what support is available for sites such as Stafford, so that even those of us missing out on sea access do not miss out on fair funding access?
