Kevan Jones – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Kevan Jones on 2015-10-15.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many non-UK overseas personnel the RAF plans to recruit or loan from other countries’ armed forces for each year up to 2020.

Penny Mordaunt

The RAF has no plans to recruit from non-UK armed forces. However, if individuals choose to apply to join the RAF their application will be considered on a case by case basis.

The number of personnel on loan to the RAF from non-UK armed forces is based on the availability of opportunities and requirement at the time. Therefore there are no projected figures up to 2020.
