My hon. Friend is making an important point. Has she had a chance to look at the figures that the Minister for the Armed Forces released to me earlier this year? They show that at Catterick, for example, not a single common infantry course this year was filled. In one...

Recruiting to the Armed Forces, including the Reserves, is carried out by the single Services and is supported by single Service advertising. The expenditure figures for advertising by means of the various media stated are commercially sensitive. Details of the overall single Services' spend on Reserves advertising in Financial Year (FY) 2013-14 and their budgets for 2014-15 are publishable and were provided in response to Question 215731 on 1 December 2014, reproduced below.
During financial year (FY) 2013-14, the total cost of the Maritime Reserves' recruitment advertising was £2.16 million. The Maritime Reserves' budget for Reserves recruitment advertising in FY 2014-15 is £2.96 million.
The Army's 'More Than Meets The Eye' recruiting campaign is designed to attract applications to both the Regular and Reserve components of the Army. The cost of the Reserve element of the campaign is, therefore, an estimate based on a 50% share of the overall campaign cost.
During FY 2013-14, the Army estimates that the cost of advertising for Army Reserve recruitment was £1.882 million. The projected share of the budget to be spent on Army Reserve recruitment advertising in FY 2014-15 is £3.8 million.
During FY 2013-14, the total cost of the RAF's Reserve recruitment advertising was £2.52 million. In 2014-15, the RAF's budget for Reserves specific recruitment advertising is £2.14 million.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many expressions of interest in applying to join the Reserve Forces there were from applicants working in Cardiff South and Penarth constituency in each month since January 2011.
The single Services receive 'expressions of interest' on a wide variety of subjects and therefore we do not hold any data which would appropriately answer your question.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the number of completed recruitments to the Reserve Forces was from applicants residing in Cardiff South and Penarth constituency in each month since January 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the number of completed recruitments to the Reserve Forces was from applicants residing in Cardiff South and Penarth constituency in each month since January 2011.
We have taken ‘completed recruitments’ to mean enlistments.
Of the single Services, only the Army collects data in the format requested. I will therefore provide figures for the Maritime Reserves and the Royal Auxiliary Air Force based on recruitment from the Cardiff Armed Forces Careers Office, as this is the lowest level of regional data obtainable.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to his answer of 12 July 2013, Official Report, column 420W, on reserve forces: Cardiff, whether the HMS Cambria facility will remain at its current location bordering Sully and Barry.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to his answer of 12 July 2013, Official Report, column 420W, on reserve forces: Cardiff, whether the HMS Cambria facility will remain at its current location bordering Sully and Barry.
HMS Cambria is currently planned to remain in its present location until 2016 when it will move to a new site in Cardiff. A naval presence will however remain in Barry for the foreseeable future, although it is too early to define what this will be.

My thoughts and prayers are also with the families and friends of the two service personnel, including Lance Corporal...

As the Secretary of State for Defence, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), set out in his answer to the hon. Member on 3 July 2013, Official Report, column 941, and, as confirmed in his written statement of 4 July 2013, Official Report, column 61WS, there will be a Royal Naval Reserve presence at Barry, Vale of Glamorgan, and in Cardiff.
The number of personnel from the Cardiff South and Penarth constituency based at HMS Cambria is not recorded centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. It is too early to be able to estimate accurately the number of Reservists currently based at HMS Cambria who may relocate to the new location in Cardiff. No discussions have taken place with Cardiff county council to date as the Navy Command Future Reserves team is currently considering a number of options.
In addition to the presence at Barry and Cardiff there will also be a small sub-unit of HMS Cambria (Tawe Division) in Swansea.
