HC Deb 16 May 1980 vol 984 c669W
Mr. Ray Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what was the total amount spent in 1979 on the Territorial Army Reserves; and if he will give details of the expenditure.

Mr. Hayhoe

It is not possible to give figures for the actual outturn of expenditure on the TA in 1979–80 as the Defence Vote system monitors expenditure on a commodity rather than a functional basis. The best available assessment of expenditure on the TA in 1979–80 is £105.5 million. This can be broken down as follows:

£m
Equipment 18.4
Works Services 11.6
Personnel 62.4
Other 13.1
105.5
