Call for Evidence

Armed forces readiness

The Committee welcomes written evidence on the following:

Are the armed forces sufficiently capable, resourced and ready to protect the UK and our allies?
What are the main gaps in capability and/or readiness, and what will it take to fill these gaps?
Are the UK armed forces a ‘tier one fighting force’? Do they need to be?
What are the consequences of the army having been “hollowed out and underfunded”? Which of these consequences needs to be addressed most urgently?
Are the Government’s plans sufficient to address any shortfalls?

This call for written evidence has now closed.
