PARLIAMENTARY QUESTIONS

June 7, 2013 by

05 Jun 13. Defence Committee. FUTURE ARMY 2020. Have your say on the Ministry of Defence’s plans for the Army. As part of our inquiry into Future Army 2020 which is examining the MoD’s plans for the future structure of the Army, the Army Rumour Service has kindly agreed to host a discussion for us. You can post your views in response to our questions on their website at http://www.arrse.co.uk/house-commons-205 or you can get to them through our website at http://www.parliament.uk/future-army-2020. Rt Hon James Arbuthnot MP, Chair of the Committee, said: “We have already held an evidence session on the MoD’s plans for the future of the Army with General Sir Peter Wall, Chief of the General Staff. As we continue our inquiry, we want to hear the views of as many people as possible views on the MoD’s plans. We are extremely grateful to the Army Rumour Service for hosting this discussion. I hope that we will receive many ideas for the questions we should ask and explore with our witnesses. Please take this opportunity to contribute to our work and give us the benefit of your knowledge and experience so that we can effectively examine and improve the MoD’s plans”.
