Our veterans are a huge part of our community in North Norfolk. Military matters are so important to us with many serving and ex service personnel living here. With this in mind I asked today what steps the MOD is taking to recruit Armed Forces personnel. With war on the continent, and a fragile peace in many parts of the world, our armed forces are more important than ever. However, in the last 22 years, the inflow of personnel into UK Regular Forces has only been higher than outflow in six years. This issue goes beyond party politics, and so I wanted to have reassurance to assure me the retention of personnel is focused on as well as recruitment into our armed forces.
