Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Howe on 13 December (HL3894), whether (1) the Army, (2) the Royal Navy, and (3) the Royal Air Force, hold information on the type of school attended by service personnel; and if so, in what format that information is held, and whether it is broken down by rank.

Where such information is held it will be as part of the individual's joining information, completed as part of the enlistment process. This will largely be in manuscript form, and could not be identified without disproportionate cost.

This information will not have any reference to rank, as those entering the Armed Forces generally do so as a recruit or cadet.
