Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 3 April 2025 to Question 44144 on Armed Forces: Training, what recent steps his Department has taken to help improve HMNB Clyde’s OFSTED rating to Outstanding.

The Ministry of Defence is committed to ensuring the highest standards of training and welfare across all its establishments, including HMNB Clyde which was rated GOOD following Ofsted’s most recent inspection.

The Royal Navy has reflected on the recommendations made by Ofsted following their inspection of HMNB Clyde and continues to implement improvements as recommended by the Ofsted report. This continues to make HMNB Clyde a safe place for living, studying and working.

This has included: implementing new governance structures for learning, as well as care and welfare, and the continued renovation and refurbishment of trainee accommodation and facilities, complementing the wider works to improve HMNB Clyde.
