HC Deb 14 February 1985 vol 73 c286W
Mr. Nellist

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many British military and civilian personnel are engaged in training the Sri Lankan armed forces; how many are loan service personnel; and how many there are from each service.

Mr. Lee

There are no British loan service personnel training the Sri Lankan armed forces. Places are made available on British forces training courses to small numbers of Sri Lankan personnel on an opportunity basis, but no British personnel are specifically dedicated to training Sri Lankan students.
