HC Deb 14 April 1986 vol 95 c244W
Sir Frederic Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if, pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Sheffield, Hillsborough (Mr. Flannery) of 9 April, he will list the countries in respect of which he is (a) willing and (b) unwilling to answer parliamentary questions about the numbers of soldiers or officers at present receiving training in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Eggar

A list of those countries whose nationals receive military training in the United Kingdom was given in my reply to the hon. Member for Walsall, North (Mr. Winnick) on 27 March.

We do not normally reveal the details of the numbers of trainees or types of courses offered to individual countries as these details are regarded as confidential between ourselves and the recipient Government.
