Mr.

Defence if he will place in the Library the studies of the
demobilisation surveys for reserve forces completing operational
engagements for the last five years.

24 July 2006 : Column 782WMr.
Watson: We are considering whether the documents can be
released in full or in part. This will require scrutiny of a
considerable amount of information contained within five main reports
and three follow-up reports. Once this process is complete, I will
write to the hon. Member and, if appropriate, place copies of the
report in the Library of the
House.
Mr.
Brazier: To ask the Secretary of State for
Defence if he will place in the Library the studies of terminal surveys
for members of reserve forces leaving the reserve forces for the last
five years.
[85488]
Mr.
Watson: The armed forces do not currently carry out
terminal surveys for members of the reserve forces. But we do conduct a
larger number of focused surveys on reserves; for example a continuous
attitude survey on the TA and a copy of this survey of Annex is in the
Library of the
House.
Mr.
Brazier: To ask the Secretary of State for
Defence what the manning totals were (a) in 2005-06 and
(b) in the most recent period for which figures are available of
(i) men and (ii) women for (A) officers and (B) other ranks in each of
the reserve forces, breaking down (1) the Territorial Army by area and
corps and (2) (x) the Royal Navy Reserve and (y) the Royal Auxiliary
Air Force by functional category.
