As at 1 April 2018 there were 130 BOTC serving in the trained strength of the British Armed Forces.</p><p>However, for security reasons the Armed Forces continue to have UK residency criteria to ensure the appropriate security standards which all applicants are required to meet. This will vary depending on the Service and role being applied for but applications are considered on a case by case basis.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 13/11/2018 15:51:57 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
