Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many ex-regulars in the Maritime Reserve are (a) on a reduced commitment, (b) eligible to deploy on an overseas exercise, (c) eligible to deploy on an overseas operation and (d) eligible to 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.
