We know from the recruitment that we have continued to do from the Commonwealth over recent years that many Commonwealth citizens aspire to join the Armed Forces where they make an outstanding contribution. Our recruitment plans will see the numbers joining rising upwards to 1,350 per year over the next few years as this change takes full effect.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 10/12/2018 16:13:49 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
