<p>I refer the Noble Lord to the below table which shows the number of Trade Trained
Regular Army Personnel by Stationed Location, as of 1 January 2024.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Location</p></td><td><p>Personnel</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>England</p></td><td><p>59,920</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>1,350</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Scotland</p></td><td><p>3,520</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Northern
Ireland</p></td><td><p>1,370</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Overseas</p></td><td><p>3,010</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Notes/Caveats:</p><ol><li>The figures
are for the Trade Trained Regular Army only and therefore exclude Gurkhas, Full Time
Reserve Service, Mobilised Reserves, Army Reserve and all other Reserves, but includes
those personnel that have transferred from GURTAM to UKTAP.</li><li>Figures include
all Trade Trained Regular Army personnel, regardless of whether they are currently
deployed on operation. This also includes personnel regardless of their Medical Deployability
Status.</li><li>Figures include both Officers and Soldiers.</li><li>The figures are
based on service personnel’s stationed location and not their area of residence –
where personnel work isn’t necessarily where they live. Personnel deployed on operations
to an area away from their stationed location are shown against their most recent
stationed location.</li><li>There are approximately 20 personnel with an unallocated
location as recorded on the Joint Personnel Administration System (JPA).</li><li>Figures
have been rounded to 10 for presentational purposes; numbers ending in “5” have been
rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.</li><li>Totals and
sub-totals have been rounded separately and so may not appear to be a sum of their
parts.</li></ol><p> </p>
