I am honoured to respond to the debate on the Army size. The Minister acknowledged the hon. Member for Huddersfield's long-standing dedication to defence issues and highlighted the Government's commitment to updating and modernising our armed forces in light of Russia's threat, as outlined in the defence Command Paper. The response includes a £24 billion increase in funding until 2024 to ensure an Army of 100,000, combining regulars and reserves. The Future Soldier programme aims to reform the British Army into brigade combat teams for better self-sufficiency and integration with digital communications, ensuring all soldiers can communicate across platforms. Additionally, the equipment plan sees a £43 billion investment over the next decade, bringing state-of-the-art military equipment like Boxers, upgraded Challenger tanks, mobile deep fires capability, and ISTAR assets. The Minister stressed the importance of being doctrinally capable, better-equipped, and more integrated with allies within NATO. He also highlighted Operation Cabrit's presence in Estonia and the security force assistance battalions for building allied capacity. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Op Mobilise has been initiated to review postures, accelerate plans, boost readiness, speed up technological advances, and reconsider doctrines as necessary. The Prime Minister and Defence Secretary have committed to more defence investment when needed.
