Mr. Trotter

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what will be the reduction in manpower requirements in (a) the Royal Navy and (b) the Royal Air Force as a result of the changes he announced on 20 January.

Mr. Pattie

As a result of the changes announced on 20 January there will be some reductions in the manpower requirements for the Royal Navy and for the Royal Air Force. It is too soon, however, to assess accurately the long term effect of these changes.
