To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) male and (b) female recruits have commenced Phase 1 training at Catterick Infantry Training Centre in each year since 2006; and if he will make a statement.
Anna Soubry
Infantry training at Catterick is comprised of the Combat Infantryman’s Course, which is a combined phase one and phase two course. The table includes all those who commenced the Combat Infantryman’s Course.
No female recruits undergo infantry training and therefore figures relate to males only.
