	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2014 answer text <p>In order to facilitate a clearer public understanding the Ministry of Defence now uses the term &quot;requirement&quot; in place of &quot;service liability&quot; in its publications, although this is effectively the same thing. Likewise, we now refer to &quot;trained strength&quot; rather than &quot;funded strength&quot; and &quot;paid strength&quot;.</p><p>Information on the requirements and full time trained strengths of UK Armed Forces, including a breakdown by Service, is published in the UK Armed Forces Monthly Personnel Report. The latest edition includes data as at 1 September 2014 and is available at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/361249/MPR_September_2014.pdf</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois question first answered 24/11/2014 17:14:09 answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois previous answer version 23784 answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois
