Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many personnel made redundant from the armed forces between September 2011 and June 2014 used (a) the Core Resettlement Programme (b) Career Transition Partnership (c) CTP Future Horizons and (d) the Employment Support Programme.

Between September 2011 and June 2014, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) ran a redundancy programme resulting in 12,134 Service personnel being selected for redundancy, of which 10,851 used a billable Career Transition Partnership (CTP) Service. All Regular and Gurkha personnel leaving the UK Armed Forces through the redundancy programme were entitled to receive the highest level of support through the Full Resettlement Programme (FRP) (now called the Core Resettlement Programme). The MOD has no records of any personnel electing to use a lower level of provision.

The estimated cost incurred through the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) contract to support Service personnel made redundant between June 2011 and September 2014 was £5.2 million.
