To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 10 February 2021 to Question 149770 on Africa: Armed Forces, how many armed forces personnel the UK trained from those countries listed in that Answer in (a) their country of origin and (b) a third country other than the UK.

Since 2017/18 we have provided training places on UK-based courses to six military personnel from Ethiopia, 51 from Ghana, 14 from Mali, 244 from Nigeria, one from Somalia, 26 from South Africa, two from Tanzania, and 28 from Uganda. At this time we are unable to provide data on training delivered overseas because records are not centralised.
