Armed Forces: Vacancies
Asked by: Derek Twigg (Labour - Widnes and Halewood)
Wednesday 25th June 2025

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 16 June 2025 to Question 58934 on Armed Forces: Vacancies, what the ranks of the unfilled posts are; and how long they have been unfilled.

Answered by Luke Pollard - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence)

The UK has one of the highest post fill rates in NATO. As of 1 April 2025, the UK’s post allocation was 1,053, of which 82 were unfilled. While 8% of our posts were gapped in April 2025, this was predominantly for a period of less than 10 months. The majority of gaps were at OF-3, OF-4, and OR-6 level, which corresponds to the most in demand ranks of the personnel we provide. The full data for this period is as follows:

Asked by: Derek Twigg (Labour - Widnes and Halewood)
Monday 16th June 2025

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many military posts allocated for British Armed Forces personnel within NATO remain unfilled as of 1 April 2025.

Answered by Luke Pollard - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence)

The UK is one of the largest contributors of personnel to NATO, underlining our commitment to deterrence and defence of the Euro-Atlantic Area, with personnel deployed in over twenty-one countries.

The UK consistently has one of the highest post fill rates in NATO. As of 1 April 2025, the UK’s post allocation was 1,053, of which 8% were unfilled. This is due to new long-lead posts recently being included in data, as well as normal churn.
