§ Mr. WoodTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the establishment against actual strength of British Army units in Germany; and how many requests for transfer there are for each of these units. [29650]
§ Mr. IngramThe establishment and actual staffing levels for major British Army units in Germany, as at 1 January 2002, are shown in the table. It is not possible to say how many requests for transfer there are for each unit in Germany as this information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
