Mr. O'NeillTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his reply of 25 June, if he will state the exact number of staff within the Ministry of Defence who have been involved at various times in certain aspects of the options for change work in addition to their normal duties.
§ Mr. Archie HamiltonThe number has varied considerably as more staff have been drawn into the work and consulted on particular aspects of it and as the level of activity has fluctuated. It is not, therefore, possible to give a precise figure.
