§ Mr. FatchettTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what has been the reduction by relevant category in the number of his Department's posts resulting from the competing for quality programme. [22571]
§ Mr. FreemanUnder my Department's delegated financial structure, budget holders operate within financial allocations which cover a range of operating costs, including staff. Between April 1992 and September 1994, some 14,700 service and civilian posts were reviewed under the CFQ programme. As a result, reductions of 11,167 posts have been proposed. Details of the categories of the posts reduced are not held centrally.
