HC Deb 03 November 1980 vol 991 c476W
Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list any additions to the collection, presentation or publication of statistics which his Department has made since May 1979.

Mr. Hayhoe

The statistics collected by the Ministry of Defence are almost entirely from within the Department and the Armed Services and are used for internal management purposes. Adjustments are made frequently. In the Statement on Defence Estimates for 1980 the statistical and financial information was expanded and published in a separate volume for the first time.
