Written question asked by Jim Cunningham (Labour) on Tuesday, 24 November 2015, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 30 November 2015 (named day). It was answered by Michael Fallon (Conservative) on Monday, 30 November 2015 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Armed Forces: Deployment

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate his Department holds on the number of British military personnel embedded with foreign armed forces; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

Given the routine nature of embedding, this information has not been coordinated centrally. The Ministry of Defence is in the process of compiling data on UK personnel embedded with other nations' armed forces and deployed on operations, as well as those who work on operations in deployed coalition or single nation headquarters roles. I intend to update the House after this process is complete.
