The information held is shown in the following table:

Service	Rank	Time (years)	Remarks
Royal Navy	Officer	2.9	To attain Sub Lieutenant from Midshipman
	Other Ranks	6.8	To attain Leading Hand (RN), or Lance Corporal (RM) from Rating/Marine
Army	Officer	111 months	To attain 2nd Lieutenant from Officer Cadet
	Other Ranks	4.7	To attain substantive Lance Corporal from Private
Royal Air Force	Officer	6.85	To attain substantive Flight Lieutenant from Officer Cadet
	Non Commissioned Aircrew	15.25	To attain substantive Flight Sergeant from Sergeant (entry level).
	Ground Trades Other Ranks	9	To attain substantive Corporal from Senior Aircraftman
1 Army Officers are commissioned upon completion of training at Sandhurst (11 months unless back squadded, for example due to injury). Upon commissioning, they are automatically promoted from Officer Cadet.

The time spent in the rank at which a person enters the armed services, before achieving the first promotion varies greatly. For example, in the RAF, the junior enlisted rank structure has a greater number than the other services, of ranks that must be passed through before competing for the rank of Lance Corporal/Corporal. The table therefore provides the average time for promotion to junior non-commissioned officer in each of the services.

There are many different avenues for entry as a commissioned officer into each of the services. Graduates are commissioned earlier than non-graduates and receive

additional seniority based on previously acquired skills leading to many variations in time to promotion. The information on average time should be read in that light.

My hon. Friend is right: we have a responsibility both to those who are currently employed in the civil service and to folk who, as a result of the relocation agenda envisaged in the 2004 spending review, may no longer be so employed. That is why we have organised training and reskilling, and are working with recruitment organisations throughout the country. If my hon. Friend has specific concerns about what is happening in the DWP in the north-east, I shall be happy to meet him and discuss them or to take them up with ministerial colleagues, but the Cabinet Office has a corporate set of rules on reskilling, and is responsible for advising Departments on their implementation.
