(asked on 12th January 2016) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to encourage recruitment of cadets.
This question was answered on 18th January 2016
We are determined that many more young people benefit from the Cadets experience. Hence we have committed an extra £50 million to increase the number of Cadet Units in schools across the UK to 500 by 2020.
More widely, the Community Cadet Forces continue to recruit new Cadets. Over 3,000 Community Cadet Force Units provide exceptional opportunities for over 131,000 young people to develop key life skills.
