Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the value for money of the Army’s recruitment system in comparison to the recruitment systems for the (a) RAF and (b) Royal Navy.
A value for money assessment has not been undertaken comparing the Defence Recruitment System (DRS) against the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force's Recruiting IT System (RITS). Each of the Single Service recruiting operations deliver sufficient numbers of recruits to support the Armed Forces in meeting all of its commitments.
