To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the average number of sickness hours per officer among his Department's police(a) in total, (b) at AWE Aldermaston and (c) at AWE Burghfield for each month since June. [141543]

Mr. Spellar

[holding answer 11 December 2000]: The information requested is shown in the table:

Hours
Month 2000 Force Average AWE Aldermaston AWE Burghfield
June 9.4 11.37 4.43

While collating data for this answer, it was discovered that the Force average figure of "9.5 hours" recorded for June 2000, in my letter (D/Min(AF)JS2931K/2932K/2933K/2934K/2935/00/M) to you of 9 August, was incorrect and should have read "9/" as shown in the table above.
