Summary

Consultation seeking feedback on definitions and coverage of equipment statistics in MOD’s formations, vessels and aircraft publication.

This consultation ran from
9:30am on 29 March 2016 to 11:45pm on 9 May 2016

Consultation description

The MOD currently publishes the Formations, vessels and aircraft national statistics publication on an annual basis.

This publication contains statistics on:

• vessels in the Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary
• militarily-useful British registered vessels
• formations in the British Army, Army Reserves, Fleet Air Arm, Royal Air Force (RAF), Royal Auxiliary Air Force and selected joint units
• forward available Fleet sizes by type of aircraft in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm, RAF and Joint Helicopter Command

Following an internal review of equipment statistics, which looked at the content of this publication as well as requests for information received by the department, the MOD is now seeking feedback from users via this public consultation.

The aim of this consultation is to identify whether the definitions and terminology, and coverage of the publication still meets users’ needs and if not, how ‘Formations, vessels and aircraft’ can be improved to better meet these needs.

Please see the consultation document for more information about the review, and specific questions the MOD would like feedback on.
