Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many requests for early termination of service have been (a) made, (b) approved and (c) rejected by each of the services in the last five years.
It is taking time to collate the required information to answer the hon. Member’s Question. I will write to him when the information is available, and a copy of this letter will be placed in the Library of The House.
