Dear ,
Thank you for your email of 19 April 2015 and your clarification of 21 April 2015 in which you requested the following information:
‘I would like the ratio percentage of regiments/units split by regular and reservist. However, if the percentage of manpower split by regular and reserves is available to me too, that information would be very welcome.’
I am treating your correspondence as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.
A search for the information has now been completed within the Ministry of Defence, and I can confirm that information in scope of your request is held. The breakdown of Regular and Reserve units and the breakdown in manpower are enclosed at Annex A.
If you are not satisfied with this response or you wish to complain about any aspect of the handling of your request, then you should contact me in the first instance. If informal resolution is not possible and you are still dissatisfied then you may apply for an independent internal review by contacting the Information Rights Compliance team, 1st Floor, MOD Main Building, Whitehall, SW1A 2HB (e-mail [email protected]). Please note that any request for an internal review must be made within 40 working days of the date on which the attempt to reach informal resolution has come to an end.
If you remain dissatisfied following an internal review, you may take your complaint to the Information Commissioner under the provisions of Section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act. Please note that the Information Commissioner will not investigate your case until the MOD internal review process has been completed. Further details of the role and powers of the Information Commissioner can be found on the Commissioner's website, http://www.ico.gov.uk.
Yours sincerely,
Army Secretariat
