Meeting details
At 2:30pm: Oral evidence
Inquiry
Armed Forces Readiness
This session will examine the current readiness of the Armed Forces and ask whether the Forces have what they need to protect UK from threats. Questions are likely to focus on the increasing threat over the last two years, and whether this has altered the Ministry of Defence’s (MOD) assessment of risk and readiness. The Committee may also discuss the levels of sustainment within each of the Services and whether the current stockpiles are sufficient.
