Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many and what proportion of the strength of the Maritime Reserve were on Additional Duties Contracts in (a) April 2013, (b) April 2014, (c) April 2015, (d) April 2016 and (e) April 2017; how many in each such year were (i) Royal Naval and (ii) Royal Marine Reserve; and if he will make a statement.
It will take some time to collate and analyse the relevant information to respond to your questions. I will write to the hon. Member with a substantive response once this process is complete.
