Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many officers of Paid Rank Colonel and above there are in the Royal Regiment of Scotland.

As at 1 January 2021 there were no officers of Paid Rank Colonel and above in the Royal Regiment of Scotland, as those serving in the General Staff are no longer counted towards their previous Regiments. However, those whose previous Regiment was the Royal Regiment of Scotland total 30.

Notes/Caveats:

• Figures provided by Defence Statistics (Army).
• Figures have been rounded to 10 for presentational purposes.
• Figures are for Trade Trained Regulars only.
• Those serving in the General Staff are no longer counted towards their previous Regiments, however, data shows those personnel in the General Staff whose previous Regiment was the Royal Regiment of Scotland.
