The below Parliamentary question was asked by Kevan Jones on 2014-06-12.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the National Audit Office report, Army 2020, HC 263, published on 11 June 2014, page 25, if he will provide details of (a) the 167 implementation orders that his Department has already issued as part of the Army 2020 reforms and (b) any implementation orders which have yet to be issued.

Mr Mark Francois

Implementation Orders are used to communicate structural changes within the Army. As at June 2014 over 170 orders have been issued for Army 2020. The Ministry of Defence does not routinely publish details of internal military orders.
