Mr. O'NeillTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the total number of man weeks allocated to formal individual training in 1979 and 1974, across all categories of Royal Navy personnel, for each of the following areas:(a) new entry training, (b) specialisation training, (c) sub-specialisation training and (d) routine top-up training.
§ Mr. NeubertInformation on man weeks allocated to individual training was not produced in the form requested for the years up to and including 1979. Much of the detailed information over this period is no longer held. So far as later years are concerned, I refer the hon. Gentleman to answer 6 provided to the Defence Committee on 3 February 1988, reproduced on page 25 of the Committee's sixth report of Session 1987–88.
