PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Armed Forces: Cadets (12 January 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to encourage recruitment of cadets.

Asked by:
Mark Garnier (Conservative)

Answer

We are determined that many more young people benefit from the Cadets experience. Hence we have committed an extra £50 million to increase the number of Cadet Units in schools across the UK to 500 by 2020.


More widely, the Community Cadet Forces continue to recruit new Cadets. Over 3,000 Community Cadet Force Units provide exceptional opportunities for over 131,000 young people to develop key life skills.
