Armed Forces: Junior Officers

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:What statistics the general staff use to ensure that sufficient group A direct entry junior officers are being commissioned.
Answer

The commissioning target for direct entry type A officers is revised each year and is based on the annual requirements for junior officers articulated by the Army's corps and regiments. The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is required to achieve within plus or minus 20 of this target and has generally succeeded in doing so since 2002.
