The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 9 September 2024 to Question 2525 on Bangladesh: Armed Forces and Police, how many members of the Bangladeshi (a) police and (b) rapid action battalion have been trained at Sandhurst in the last ten years.

Answered by Luke Pollard

No Bangladeshi International Officer Cadets who have been trained at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in the last ten years were members of the Bangladeshi Police or Rapid Action Battalion, either at the point of commencement or on completion of training.

The Department does not hold records on whether these personnel went on to join the Bangladeshi Police or Rapid Action Battalion following completion of training.
