§ Mr. ToddTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the(a) gross and (b) net income derived from the training of personnel from foreign armed forces in the last year for which figures are available. [138315]
§ Mr. SpellarThe information is not held in the format requested. The funds expended training solely foreign personnel cannot be separated from the overall cost of the activity. Furthermore, the amount of receipts generated solely from training foreign personnel is not recorded separately. As a result I can provide only the amount of receipts recovered for the provision of education and training in general. In 1990–2000, this sum was just over £58 million.
