We remain engaged in NATO's training mission in Iraq. Recently, RAF conducted a strike against Daesh on September 6th. In Syria, Turkey's presence is seen as stabilising, avoiding humanitarian crisis.

The Minister for Defence People and Veterans leads the charge on integrating these individuals into society, including those who have been through Sandhurst.

Since taking office, efforts have been made to open up the programme and address its failings. More detail will be provided soon.

Boxer purchase, Challenger 3 upgrade, future combat air system collaboration with Italy and Sweden.

High Barnet Army reserve centre has a continuing defence use and there are currently no plans for its sale.

No, I have better authority than those academics that we have not.

Yes, we aim to build more British ships but also recognise international collaboration. Signed a deal with Indonesia for the Arrowhead Type 31 design.

The hon. Member should have listened to my answer. He was making a point about privatisation and I was making the point that Aldermaston had just been nationalised by the Government, which was the opposite ideological scene than that which he was trying to imply.

I agree entirely with my hon. Friend. Service families are at the heart of the defence community. Our assistance to them includes wraparound childcare, which is currently being piloted, and support for partner employment. We will shortly bring forward the armed forces families strategy, which will deliver choice and flexibility to service families, because people must be able to serve their country while also supporting a family.

We published a consultation on a number of proposals for the visa system around Commonwealth soldiers. We will be publishing a response very soon and the hon. Gentleman will get the answers he requires.

Absolutely; it did play a key role. It is a very valuable asset, alongside others, including the A400M, which also has a connection with my hon. Friend's constituency.

Whenever we examine new arrangements for services for our military, of course we examine all the impacts on security, accountability and indeed performance.

In the first instance, my right hon. Friend could advise them to go to the ARAP website and apply to the scheme, but it does no harm at all to write to me or my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State in parallel, as many colleagues have done, and we are working through those cases at best speed.

That is an incredibly important way to inspire young people about the careers that are ahead. When politics do not get in the way of that recruitment, it is much better. I remember being banned from a school in Dundee when I was doing military recruiting—[Interruption]; not me personally—because ideologically it did not fit with some narrative.

They do not automatically get referred to the Afghan citizens resettlement scheme; instead they are invited to apply to it. In letters from the MOD to colleagues explaining that people have not been eligible for ARAP we are providing the details of how to apply to the ACRS.

There are no plans to renew them. The taking out of service of the non-Red Arrows Hawk T1s will provide a significant amount of spares and support for the current Red Arrows fleet going forward. There are currently no plans in the immediate future, or even the medium term, to review the Red Arrows.
