Anna Soubry

The Ministry of Defence undertakes a wide range of training activity; from phase 1 and phase 2 training for new recruits to complex joint exercises with other nations to specialist training for specific trades and skills requirements, such as nuclear engineering. The costs for these activities encompass nearly all of the Defence Lines of Development and can not be broken out without incurring disproportionate cost.
