(asked on 4th June 2014) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many members of the UK armed forces would lose their jobs as a result of Scottish independence.
This question was answered on 10th June 2014
The UK Government is not planning for Scottish independence and neither is the Ministry of Defence. Existing members of the UK Armed Forces would still be part of the UK Armed Forces and, as far as the UK Government is concerned, would be able to continue to serve in them, subject to the usual requirements of service.
