asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the resources made available to the armed forces for training activities.

Mr. Freeman

I refer the hon. Member to tables 2.3 and 4.2–4.4 of volume 2 of the "Statement on the Defence Estimates 1987" which give details, respectively, of the financial and manpower resources devoted to training. In 1987–88 £1,277 million was spent by the three services and service colleges in training.
