Defence written question – answered at on 7 June 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many armed forces personnel were serving (a) abroad and (b) in Afghanistan on (i) 6 May 2010 and (ii) 5 May 2011.
The precise number of personnel overseas fluctuates on a daily basis for a variety of reasons, including mid-tour rest and recuperation, temporary absence for training, evacuation for medical reasons, the roulement of forces, visits and a range of other factors. We do not, therefore, publish actual figures for personnel deployed.
