Mark submitted a written parliamentary question to ask the Defence Ministers where the headquarters of the new Special Operations Brigade will be located, having already called on Ministers to consider opening the new HQ in Shropshire.

James Heappey, Minister for the Armed Forces, responded as follows:

Once the conclusions from this work have been endorsed by Ministers then we will be in a position to provide more detail..
