The commemorations for the 400th Mayflower anniversary are being organised by a partnership of organisations called the Mayflower 400, who are ultimately responsible for organising and delivering the commemorations. UK Government, primarily through the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), has provided some financial support to the Mayflower 400’s programme. This is demonstrated by the £750,000 funding that DCMS has provided through VisitEngland, which will help to ensure a strong legacy for the commemorations. In 2015, DCMS provided £35,000 to invest in the Mayflower museum and in 2019, DCMS awarded £3.5m through the Cultural Development Fund for digital product development.

There are 29 command appointments at one-star level and above within the Royal Navy, 42 within the Army, 18 within the Royal Air Force and 26 within Strategic Command. The table below shows a breakdown by role although for security reasons two Strategic Command posts are not included. While broadly similar, the three services and Strategic Command use slightly different criteria for 'command appointments' because of their structural differences. Senior service officers also hold command appointments in roles outside of their service, for example in NATO. There are also non-command appointments at one-star level and above, both within and external to the single services.

We do not disclose the readiness state of individual ships for operational security reasons, as this would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces. HMS DEFENDER is currently deployed on operations in the Gulf. All Royal Navy ships rotate through planned operating cycles involving routine maintenance, repair, training, deployment, leave, essential modification and upgrades and will, therefore, be at varying levels of readiness in accordance with Defence requirements.

answer text

The Basic Training course at the Army Training Centre (Pirbright) is 14 weeks. This is the shortest basic training course for Regular soldiers, and recruits go on from Pirbright to train in their trade for longer periods which vary depending on their selected job role. The average cost of basic training for a soldier successfully passing the Army Training Centre (Pirbright) is estimated at approximately £38,000. This can be broken down as follows: <table><tbody><tr><td>Cost Category</td><td>£K/Trainee</td><td>Note</td></tr><tr><td>Clothing</td><td>1.9</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Ammunition</td><td>0.4</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Trainee Pay</td><td>9.0</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Other stock consumption</td><td>0.8</td><td>Includes ration packs and respirators</td></tr><tr><td>Manpower</td><td>16.2</td><td>Direct and indirect manpower costs for both military and civilian staff</td></tr><tr><td>Infrastructure</td><td>8.0</td><td>Accommodation and training facilities</td></tr><tr><td>Administration Overhead</td><td>1.8</td><td> </td></tr><tr><td>Total</td><td>38.1</td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table> These costs represent the cost of 1,695 trainees completing basic training. Costs have been apportioned to the course on the basis of activity, however there may be further costs not shown, that are captured under the greater Pirbright establishment output.
