Figures are a single service estimate provided by Britannia Royal Naval College. As such they have not been validated, are not official statistics produced by Defence Statistics and will differ from total Officer intake published in the Quarterly Service Personnel Statistics.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 17/06/2019 15:52:57 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
