Defence: Reform
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Spring Statement on 26 March 2025, what the forecasted cost to establish the Defence Reform Model is.
- Answer
-
Defence Reform is delivering meaningful change through a phased approach over the course of this parliament to reform Defence. However, it is too early to capture the required level of investment in this programme of work, which we expect will deliver net benefits through changes such as more efficient procurement processes, including a reduction in waste.
A temporary team was established in Autumn 2024 to lead Defence Reform activity. The team is expected to continue for the duration of the transformation work, and resource and budget will flex to meet the requirements of the programme.
A Written Ministerial Statement setting out the key areas and features of Defence Reform was released to the House today.
