Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) full time and (b) reservist British Army personnel have worked on recruitment in each year since 2010.
The total number of full time and reservist British Army personnel that have worked on recruitment in each year since 2010 can be found in the tables below.
The first table shows data for 2010 to the start of the Recruiting Partnering Project (RPP) contract with Capita in 2012, which was recorded on a separate database. During this time, the workforce for recruitment was full-time personnel only, including personnel on Full Time Reserve Service contracts.
