Mr. Patrick Mulley:

Following the reorganisation in 2005, there were 9,500 reservists. This figure pertained up to and including 20 November 2012 when the next reorganisation took place. There was a reorganisation in 1999, a second reorganisation in 2005 and a third reorganisation in 2012. The number of personnel has been vastly reduced as a result of these reorganisations. Currently, there are 4,000 reservists in the establishment. The figure of 1,734 relates to those who attended paid training in the past 12 months.
