The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many people began RAF pilot training in each of the last 10 years.

Answered by Luke Pollard

I hope the hon. Member will understand that his question engages national security considerations. I can reassure him that the RAF has a plan to recruit and retain pilots and a program is being made against this plan.
