Mr. Archie Hamilton

[pursuant to his reply, 21 October 1986, c. 818]: Estimates of the total number of jobs in United Kingdom industry sustained by defence expenditure are derived from generalised statistical information. It is not possible to give a separate figure for Scotland. On 1 July 1986 19,701 United Kingdom service personnel and 17,934 MOD civilian staff were deployed in Scotland.
