answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2016 answer text <p>The Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015 (SDSR 2015) ensured that investment in capability - including personnel - remained in balance with financial requirements, with a focus on matching capability to policy throughout the Review. To fully deliver future Defence commitments, the SDSR also set out plans for investment in an additional uplift of 400 personnel for the Royal Navy and 300 for the Royal Air Force. This will ensure that the Armed Forces continue to have the capabilities and skills needed to meet global obligations.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 26/07/2016 15:27:20 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
