6. Figures have been rounded to the nearest 10 to prevent inadvertent disclosure. However, numbers ending in "5" have been rounded to the nearest 20 to prevent systematic bias. Figures between 1 and 5 inclusive are represented by '~' to prevent possible disclosure, and zero represented by "-".
7. Totals have been rounded separately, and so Totals may not equal the sums of their rounded parts (see totals for MOD Civilians).
