Maria Eagle – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Maria Eagle on 2015-12-14.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many early service leavers received the increased settlement package in each year since 2010.

Mark Lancaster

We do not recognise the term increased settlement package, but have interpreted this as meaning the Early Service Leaver provision (termed the Future Horizons Programme with effect from October 2013):

FY 2013-14 (October 2013 – March 2014) – 806

FY 2014-15 (April 2014 – March 2015) – 2,254

FY 2015-16 (April 2015 – 15 December 2015)

(includes CTP Future Horizons with effect from 1 October 2015) – 1,906
