Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) voluntary redundancies, (b) compulsory redundancies, (c) voluntary exits and (d) involuntary exits from the Army there were in each year between 2010-11 and 2013-14.
The information requested is shown in the table:
2010-11 | 2011-12 | 2012-13 | 2013-14 | |
Redundancies | 0 | 600 | 2,080 | 4,050 |
Voluntary exits | 4,240 | 4,980 | 5,530 | 4,710 |
Involuntary exits | 4,390 | 4,720 | 4,030 | 4,030 |
All redundancies are compulsory. The figures for ‘involuntary exits’ include data for those coming to the end of their engagement, medical discharge, discipline discharge and all other circumstances.
Figures have been rounded to 10; numbers ending in 5 are rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.
