The military authorities have advised me that the data requested by the Deputy is not readily accessible as they do not capture such data in this manner.

I can confirm that the number of personnel who have claimed Patrol Duty Allowance in the bands requested for 2019 and 2020 is as follows:

2019

Number of Days at Sea Number of Officers Number of Enlisted Total
0-60 days 84 287 371
61-75 days 13 60 73
76-81 days 4 16 20
over 82 days 32 197 229
2020*
Number of Days at Sea Number of Officers Number of Enlisted Total
0-60 days 53 295 348
61-75 days 10 38 48
76-81 days 8 29 37
