Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many service leavers have accessed the Career Transition Partnership in Lincolnshire in each of the last five years.

Registration with the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) is mandatory for all Service leavers.

The most recent official statistics provided in Defence Statistics (published February 2025), states that 15,665 Armed Forces Service leavers were eligible for CTP for the period 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024.

Since 1 October 2024 (the start of the current CTP contract and the earliest date at which such data is available) 1362 Service leavers have accessed the CTP through Cottesmore, the resettlement centre that services Lincolnshire.
