Ministry of Defence written question – answered at on 16 June 2015.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many people were recruited to each reserve force in each nation and region of the UK in each month of (a) 2014 and (b) 2015; and if he will make a statement.
The following table represents the stationed location of Armed Forces personnel when they join the Reserve forces, as recorded in the Ministry of Defence’s Joint Personnel Administration (JPA) system. This does not necessarily represent where personnel reside or where they have been recruited; it is possible for personnel to be recruited in one country and then be stationed elsewhere in the UK. A breakdown by region is not available.

Note: Figures have been rounded to the nearest 10, and numbers ending in 5 have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias. Totals and sub-totals are rounded separately and may not equal the sum of their rounded parts. ‘-‘ denotes zero and ‘~’ denotes 5 or fewer.
Intake figures are derived from Future Reserve 2020 (FR20) programme monitoring statistics which are based on month-on-month comparisons of strength. These figures comprise any intake into the FR20 trained and untrained populations, including personnel transferring from the Regular Armed Forces and any other Reserve population not included in FR20.
