Mr. Wray

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many people in Glasgow are employed in defence work. [21620]

Dr. Moonie

The number of directly employed Ministry of Defence jobs in the city of Glasgow local authority area as at 1 July 2000 is as follows.

Number
Military 1,204
Civilian 1,832
Civilian casual 7
Total 3,043

In addition to this direct employment, the MOD supports a significant number of defence related jobs throughout the UK. The Defence Analytical Services Agency (DASA) is currently unable to provide data relating to the number of jobs created or sustained directly or indirectly as a result of MOD expenditure at a national or regional level. DASA is currently reviewing their methodology on the estimation of employment figures dependent on UK defence expenditure.
