Armed Forces: Manpower

Mr. Jenkin
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will arrange for a copy to be placed in the Library of each Monthly Manning Report for the Armed Forces on the date of its publication.

Mr. Bob Ainsworth
I have arranged for a copy of the Army Monthly Manning Report, dated 1 March 2007, to be placed in the Library of the House.

Due to the introduction of a new personnel administration system for the Army during March 2007, this report is currently suspended.

No equivalent Monthly Manning Report is produced for the naval service or Royal Air Force.
