Army: Recruitment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many military personnel have (a) been recruited into the Armed Forces and (b) not passed basic training in each of the last 10 years.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The new Government inherited a very challenging recruitment and retention position for all Services, and has made improving recruitment and readiness of our Armed Forces an early priority. The Defence Secretary has already made announcements to improve recruitment and further announcements will be made by the Ministry of Defence in due course.
