However, the Army have a series of initiatives in place aimed at improving both recruitment and retention. These are starting to yield benefits but ensuring the Army is at the appropriate size requires sustained effort and investment. However, most importantly the Army continues to meet all of its operational commitments that keep Britain safe.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 25/07/2019 07:03:53 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
