To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to their consultation on changes to the definition of trained strength for the army, why this change has been proposed.

I refer the noble Lord to the Written Ministerial Statement made by the Secretary of State for Defence (Michael Fallon) on 30 June 2016 (HLWS50).
The public consultation sought views on the inclusion of the revised Army Trained Strength figures within the Monthly Service Personnel Statistics publication. No external responses were received. The change was implemented from 1 October 2016.
