uin	188918
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2018 answer text <p>British Overseas Territory Citizens (BOTC) have never been subject to the five year UK residency criteria which has been removed for citizens of Commonwealth member countries. BOTC have one of six types of British nationality which already makes them eligible to apply to join the British Armed Forces, and they serve as part of the British cohort. 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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2018 answer text <p>The authority to cancel or reschedule a recruitment or training event sits at all levels of the Duty Holder Concept. This empowers the Delivery Duty Holder, at the lowest level of the construct, to cancel or reschedule if they are not able to keep risk as low as reasonably practicable. In cases where there is an imperative to run an event, which is unlikely to be the case for recruitment/selection activities, decision making may be escalated to the next levels of the Duty Holder Concept to consider the risk and provide additional senior guidance and/or resources to mitigate any safety shortfalls, or confirm cancellation.</p><p> </p><p>The Delivery Duty Holder may not always be the person directly responsible for an event. As a result there is also a Duty of Care process which ensures that those responsible for the running of an event are still empowered with the authority to stop that activity until it is safe to proceed.</p><p> </p><p>The information on cancellation of events is not held centrally in the format requested. In line with the Duty Holder Concept, events will be adapted (e.g. location or dates changed to mitigate risks) or cancelled.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster grouped question UIN 181206 question first answered 26/10/2018 13:47:17 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has a small central team who have been appointed to deal exclusively with Defence issues relating to the UK's decision to leave the EU. This team draws on a range of colleagues from across the MOD who support EU exit related work, in addition to their normal duties. Given the interactions between EU exit work and the MOD's other priorities it is not possible to provide an accurate assessment of these costs. answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 11/09/2018 10:11:51 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>As explained in the response my right hon. Friend the Minister for Defence People and Veterans (Mr Ellwood) gave her on 24 July 2018 to Question 164311, when candidates initiate an application to join the Army Reserves through the National Recruitment Centre, they are matched with a unit based on their location and declared role preference. The nature of Reserve service tends to mean that the location of the unit is a primary driver for our volunteers.</p><p>Candidates with the relevant qualifications and experience are encouraged to think about specialist trades. While there is no priority recruiting list for the Army Reserve, candidates who have relevant skills are advised of the number of nationally-recruited specialist units. This can be particularly attractive for those who can only offer a reduced commitment as these units have a lower minimum number of Reserve Service Days. This includes units such as the Joint Cyber Unit, the Royal Military Police Special Investigation Branch and 77 Brigade.</p><p>Many candidates prefer to join a generalist unit which offers them experiences outside their civilian life, but this would not preclude the use of their skills by the Army if required, for example on operations.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 11/09/2018 14:34:16 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
