Written Question
Leuchars Station
Thursday 2nd May 2024

Asked by: Luke Pollard (Labour (Co-op) - Plymouth, Sutton and Devonport)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many service personnel are based at Leuchars Station as of 24 April 2024.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

As at 1 January 2024, there were 960 UK Armed Forces Service personnel stationed at Leuchars Station and RAF Leuchars.

Please note the following caveats:

  1. The number of UK Armed Forces Service personnel stationed at Leuchars Station and RAF Leuchars can only be provided as at 1 January 2024 in line with Published National Statistics.
  2. This figure comprises UK Regular Forces, Gurkhas, Military Provost Guard Service (MPGS), Locally Engaged Personnel (LEP), Volunteer Reserve, Serving Regular Reserve, Sponsored Reserve and Full Time Reserve Service (FTRS) of unknown origin. University Officer Cadets are excluded. The figure includes both trained and untrained personnel.
  3. The figure is based on Service personnel’s stationed location and not their location of residence – where personnel work is not necessarily where they live. Personnel deployed on operations to an area away from their stationed location are shown against their most recent stationed location.
  4. Figures containing Reserve personnel are estimates because the station location data for Reserves has not been fully verified.
  5. The figure has been rounded to the nearest 10 to prevent inadvertent disclosure of personal identities. However, numbers ending in “5” have been rounded to the nearest 20 to prevent systematic bias.
