Armed Forces: Recruitment
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, for what reasons his Department does not record the postcode of new recruits to HM Armed Forces.
- Answer
-
The Ministry of Defence does not analyse the locations where recruits to the UK Armed Forces have been recruited from.
As part of the recruitment process an individual can declare more than one postcode e.g. 'home', 'work' or 'other'.
Any declared 'home' location may not reflect where that person is from.
