§ Mr. BrazierTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what proportion of project managers in the Procurement Executive were(a) uniformed, (b) civilian with previous military service and (c) civilian without previous military service in the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force controllerates in 1980, 1985 and at present.
§ Mr. SainsburyIn 1985 civilian staff occupied 77 per cent. of project manager posts in the sea systems controllerate, 50 per cent. in the land systems controllerate and 90 per cent. in the air systems controllerate. Military staff occupied the balance of posts. These proportions have remained broadly constant up to the present day. No figures are available for distribution between civilian and military staff in 1980. The information requested about the proportion of civilian project managers with previous; military experience could be provided only at a disproportionately high cost to the Department.
