The following tables show the available information on inflow, outflow and voluntary outflow for the Arms and Service of the Regular Army Soldiers by financial year since 1 April 2003.
Due to ongoing validation of data following the implementation of the new joint personnel administration (JPA) system, flow information for 2007-08 is only available at the whole Army level and is not yet available analysed by Arm/Service. To provide this information at the present time would incur disproportionate cost.
Work on the analysis of intake and outflows is currently ongoing and once available, this information will be sent to the hon. Member and a copy placed in the Library of the House.
