Parachute Regiment

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many personnel (a) serving in the Parachute Regiment and (b) supporting arms attached to Parachute Regiment battalions have not (i) qualified as military parachutists and (ii) completed the required parachute training.

Answer

The Army has sufficient trained personnel to undertake the operations that help keep Britain safe. I am withholding information about the numbers who have completed parachute training and those who have not qualified as military parachutists as disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
