Northern Ireland: Armed Forces

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how many (1) army personnel, (2) Royal Air Force personnel, and (3) Royal Navy personnel, are based in Northern Ireland.

Answer

The attached supporting table details the number of UK regulars and Future Reserves 2020 (FR20) personnel stationed in Northern Ireland by service as at 1 January 2023.

The figures are based on Service personnel's stationed location and not their location 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. The Royal Navy/Royal Marines personnel on sea service are included against the local authority containing the home port of their ship.
