A Value for Money Review of the Reserve Defence Force is ongoing and the Steering Committee, established to oversee the VFM Review of the Reserve, met most recently on the 12 September. I understand that the Steering Committee are working towards completing the report by the end of this month.

No decisions have been made regarding the future development of the Reserve pending my receipt and consideration of the Value for Money report.
