HC Deb 09 July 1987 vol 119 c246W
Mr. Campbell-Savours

asked the Secretary of State for Defence on what basis Warrant Officer Ross, serving in the British Army, was involved in the training of private persons in shooting at a privately-organised training exercise held at an Army shooting range in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Freeman

Former Warrant Officer Ross retired from the Royal Marines in 1984. It appears that while on 28 days terminal leave, and acting in a private capacity, he helped arrange for a security firm to hire the Bisley range, which is managed by the National Rifle Association. The last 28 days of service may be taken up in civilian employment under MOD regulations.
