To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Coaker on 28 May (HL194), what guidance the Army has given on this issue; and what approvals have been (a) accepted, and (b) rejected since July 2024.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Coaker on 28 May (HL194), what guidance the Army has given on this issue; and what approvals have been (a) accepted, and (b) rejected since July 2024.
The Deputy Chief of the General Staff has directed Corps and Regimental Colonels to conduct a full review of all Army associations with private members’ clubs, to ensure their rules, policies and culture align with Army values, including equality and respect. Given the breadth of the Army’s regimental structure and the potentially extensive range of historic affiliations, this work is substantial and remains ongoing.
To ask His Majesty's Government what guidance the (1) Ministry of Defence, and (2) Armed Forces, have given to members of the Armed Forces on whether they may formally or informally affiliate with private members' clubs, including single sex clubs.

I refer the noble Lord to the reply given by my hon. Friend, the Minister for Veterans and People (Louise Sandher-Jones), in the House of Commons on 27 January 2026 to the hon. Member for Bridlington and The Wolds (Charlie Dewhirst) in response to Question 106741.
Defence does not hold a specific central policy on individual membership of single-sex private members’ clubs. Participation with external organisations in a professional capacity is subject to formal approval through the Chain of Command.

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they consulted the government of United States before closing the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme.
The Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) was a scheme developed by the UK Government to provide support to our Afghan Partners and allies. As such, the decision to close ARAP to new principal applications was taken by the UK Government.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will publish a list of (1) departments, (2) agencies, (3) non-departmental public bodies, and (4) devolved administrations, they consulted prior to the decision to close the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will publish a list of (1) departments, (2) agencies, (3) non-departmental public bodies, and (4) devolved administrations, they consulted prior to the decision to close the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme.
The Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) scheme is administered by the Ministry of Defence, and the decision to close ARAP to new applications was taken following consultation with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Home Office, His Majesty’s Treasury and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. Other agencies were first informed of the intent to bring Afghan schemes to a close in the Defence Secretary’s Written Ministerial Statement in the House of Commons in December 2024.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether Afghans who worked directly with UK forces and their families and who live in Afghanistan or Pakistan will have a pathway to settle in the UK following the decision to close the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether Afghans who worked directly with UK forces and their families and who live in Afghanistan or Pakistan will have a pathway to settle in the UK following the decision to close the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme.
Afghan nationals who wish to come to the UK can still make an application to the Home Office under the most suitable route within the Immigration Rules. Any such application would need to demonstrate that the applicant meets the relevant requirements for that route, including payment of any applicable fees.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will publish an impact assessment on closing the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they will publish an impact assessment on closing the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme.
The Ministry of Defence has considered the impact of closing the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy scheme (ARAP). The scheme was in operation for four years and had received over 190,000 applications. Over the duration of the scheme, over 95% of total applications have been found ineligible.
It is now considered that most of those who wished to apply for ARAP and would likely be eligible, will have already applied. ARAP has therefore fulfilled its purpose. The Department is not intending to publish an impact assessment.

To ask His Majesty's Government, with regard to the advertisement of the Defence Infrastructure Organisation Head of People Development and Culture, what is the business justification for the salary, and how recruitment into that job role will benefit the Ministry of Defence.
The salary for the role of Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) Head of People Development and Culture is determined by the established banding within Defence. The grade is defined by the responsibilities of the position and level of experience needed to successfully deliver in role.

In doing so, we foster the right culture and behaviours ensuring we develop a workforce equipped with the professional expertise needed for the future.
