Army Reserve

Backbench debate (separate chamber, no votes)

Steve Barclay is leading a Westminster Hall debate on the Army Reserve, Britain's part-time military force. The debate will likely examine the role, recruitment, retention, and funding of reserve personnel who support the regular armed forces.

The Army Reserve is critical to UK defence capability and national security. The debate affects military readiness, defence spending priorities, and the employment prospects of tens of thousands of reserve personnel across the UK who balance civilian jobs with military service.
