To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which British Officers were attached to the UN by appointments and ranks in the last two years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which British Officers were attached to the UN by appointments and ranks in the last two years.
In the last two years, there were five British Officers who were seconded to the United Nations (UN). These secondments are to posts in the UN HQ in New York and the UN Assistance Mission in Somalia. Given the small number, it is not possible to detail their appointments and ranks without infringing Data Protection principles, whereby individuals should not be identifiable through providing specific details (such as appointments and ranks) which, due to the small number, would mean that the subjects could be identified individually.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what recent assessment he has made of level of officer recruitment, training and retention in the Territorial Army; and if he will make a statement.
[121393]
[holding answer 18 September 2012]: It is assessed that the Army will achieve its recruiting target of 91 for direct entry TA officers in 2012-13.
As part of the Future Reserves 2020, the Army plan to spend £5 million in financial year (FY) 2012-13 on the Territorial Army (TA) recruiting campaign and are now drawing up plans for the marketing campaigns in FY 2013-14.
As a result of TA marketing activity that has already been undertaken, the Army has received a relatively high level of TA officer initial inquiries and it is assessed that this will have a positive impact on future recruitment, the targets for which are due to increase to 155 for 2013-14 and 240 thereafter until 2016.
A major review of the TA officer recruiting and training process was undertaken in 2011 in order to improve the efficiency and output of the TA officer training pipeline. We have also allocated an additional £1.8 billion over 10 years to ensure that reservists will receive the equipment and the training they need to meet their future roles.
The importance of retaining individuals who have been recruited and trained is fully appreciated and prioritised accordingly. The Ministry of Defence is engaging in a consultation process focusing on Defence's relationship with employers and how the mutual needs of the employer, reservist employee and Defence can best be accommodated. The consultation will consider the potential need for changes to legislation and the terms and conditions under which reservists serve.
