§ Mr. RogersTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the total number of military staff employed in the procurement executive in 1980 and 1989.
§ Mr. SainsburyNo central record of the number of service men employed in the procurement executive before 1 June 1981 exists; the number on that date was 1,655. It is too early in the year to give a definitive figure for 1989. However, it is expected to be around 1,200.
