Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many of the total strength of the Maritime Reserve as of 1 October 2017 are eligible to (a) deploy on overseas exercises, (b) deploy on overseas operations and (c) be mobilised?
It will take some time to collate and analyse the relevant information to respond. I will write to the hon. Member once this process is complete and place a copy of my letter in the Library of the House.
