Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what proportion of Army recruits aged (a) under 18 years and (b) 18 years and over completed phase two training and trained trade strength in the latest period for which figures are available.


This question was answered on 19th December 2017

The proportion of Army recruits aged under 18 years and 18 years or over on enlistment and who completed phase two training and joined the trade strength is shown below:

Financial Year of Intake

Under 18

18 and over

2014-15

69%

74%

Notes:

The figures are for Regular Army only and therefore exclude Gurkhas, Full Time Reserve Service, Mobilised Reserves, Army Reserve and all other Reserves, but includes those personnel that have transferred from Gurkha Trained Adult Manpower to UK Trained Adult Personnel.

The table above provides a proportion of phase 2 Trained personnel based upon an intake cohort in a financial year 2014-15.

This year is the latest available intake cohort where nearly all personnel have either outflowed from training or completed phase 2 training.
