UIN HL4497, tabled on 28 January 2025

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to strengthen the current structures of the Reserve Forces' and Cadets' Associations.

Answered on

11 February 2025

The 2019 Review of the Reserve Forces’ and Cadets’ Associations (RFCAs) recommended that the Council of RFCAs (CRFCA) and the 13 RFCAs should be merged into a single Executive Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB). The Ministry of Defence is currently developing the requisite NDPB operating structure which will preserve the voice and influence of the membership, both at the national and regional level, and will also ensure that structures are consistent throughout the organisation.
