Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many applications to join the (a) Army, (b) Maritime and (c) RAF Reserves were voluntarily withdrawn after (i) three, (ii) six and (iii) 12 months in each year since 2010.

It is taking time to collate the required information to answer the right 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.
