Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 May 2025

Debate

Armed Forces Recruitment

Contribution

My Lords, I must start by declaring my interest as an honorary captain in the Royal Navy. I welcome noble Lords to the “Ruth show”, given that I will answer three Oral Questions today. The Armed Forces recruitment service contract with Serco will fully unify recruitment by October 2027. The ministry has also set an ambition to make a conditional offer of employment within 10 days and to give a provisional start date within 30 days if the candidate desires it, in addition to scrapping more than 100 outdated medical policies.
