Dr. Fox:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the (a) numbers in post and (b) establishment are of (i) Territorial Army, (ii) Royal Armoured Corps, (iii) Royal Artillery, (iv) Royal Engineers, (v) Royal Signals, (vi) infantry, (vii) Army Air Corps, (viii) Royal Army Chaplains Department, (ix) Royal Logistics Corps, (x) Royal Army Medical Corps, (xi) Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, (xii) Adjutant General's Corps, (xiii) Royal Army Veterinary Corps, (xiv) Small Arms School Corps, (xv) Royal Army Dentistry Corps, (xvi) Intelligence Corps, (xvii) Army Physical Training Corps and (xviii) Queen Alexandra’s Royal Auxiliary Nursing Corps personnel. [210653]
Mr. Bob Ainsworth:
The following tables show the strengths for the Territorial Army, and the Regular Army strengths broken down by arms and services as at 1 April 2008. There are no establishment numbers produced for the Territorial Army. The Regular Army Liability (RAL) 2007-08 is still in use as RAL 2008-09 has yet to be issued.

Notes:
1. Due to the ongoing validation of the Joint Personnel Administration System all Army data from 1 April 2007 are provisional and subject to review.
2. DASA figures prior to 1 April 2007 included TA personnel classed as ‘awaiting acceptance’. There is no JPA equivalent for this category and therefore they are not included.
3. Data have been rounded to the nearest 10, numbers ending in 5 have been rounded to the nearest 20 to avoid systematic bias.
