HC Deb 07 December 1989 vol 163 c308W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many officers of the armed forces have been dismissed from the services for using drugs or drug-related offences in each year since 1979.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The information is readily available only for the years 1984 to 1988.

During that period one officer was dismissed, in 1986, following a court martial for drug-related offences.
