Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, of the total strength of the Royal Air Force Reserve as of 1 April 2017, what the average number was of Man Training Days undertaken by (a) an individual reservist and (b) a squadron for the training year April 2016 to March 2017.
Between 1 April 2016 and 31 March 2017 the average number of Man Training Days by an individual Reservist was 31 days per reservist and 1631 per squadron. Squadrons vary greatly in size, and therefore one squadron may conduct far more or less man training days than another, this is not unusual.
