AIR FORCE: REDUNDANCY

20th October 2015

Sir Nicholas Soames: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Royal Air Force personnel of each (a) rank and (b) skill or trade left that service through (i) voluntary redundancy, (ii) involuntary redundancy, (iii) voluntary exit and (iv) involuntary exit in each financial year between 2010-11 and 2014-15.

Mark Lancaster, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State and Minister for Defence Personnel and Veterans: The majority of the information requested is shown in the attached tables. However, a breakdown of UK Regular Armed Forces personnel who left their Service on voluntary or involuntary redundancy terms is not currently held in the format requested. Ministry of Defence officials will investigate whether this can be provided without incurring disproportionate cost and I will write to the right hon. Member shortly.
