Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many personnel on full time reserve sailor contracts in the Maritime Reserve are (a) eligible to deploy on overseas exercises, (b) eligible to deploy on overseas Operations, (c) eligible to be mobilised and (d) on a reduced commitment.
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.
