The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the most frequent reasons were for new applicants to the Army being refused on medical grounds in each year since 2020.

Answered by Al Carns

It is taking time to interrogate the data and therefore it has not been possible to provide the answer in the time available. I will write to the hon. Member as soon as practical and will place a copy of my letter in the Library of the House.
