Are there a lot of British soldiers of Pakistani or other Muslim immigrant descent?

The Army is getting better (but still has a long way to go) in getting minorities into its ranks.

The officer corps is almost exclusively white. And even then, for certain regiments, the officers are dominated by certain public schools.

I don't know about the Royal Navy. I hear the RAF is better than the other services with minority representation.
