Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) civilian and (b) military personnel support financial work in his Department.
At 30 September 23, there were 2,942 civilian personnel working in finance roles in the Ministry of Defence.
The Civilian Finance workforce data is extracted, from the Civilian HR system, and analysed on a quarterly basis. Military data is not collated centrally and therefore additional time is required to collate, and validate, this information from the Single Services. I will write to the right hon. Member shortly.
