HC Deb 07 February 2002 vol 379 c1078W
Mr. Hepburn

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many recruits there were to the Army Cadet Force in south Tyneside in(a) 1999, (b) 2000 and (c)2001. [32094]

Dr. Moonie

Cadet recruitment figures are not held in the form requested. It is usual, however, for cadet detachments to recruit about 80 per cent, of their total strength each year. For the south Tyneside detachments this equates to approximately 100 new cadets each year.
