HC Deb 13 March 1990 vol 169 c201W
Mr. Ashley

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many men died or were seriously injured while taking part in SAS, SBS or Royal Marine training courses during 1989.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

It is not the practice to comment on matters relating to special forces. During 1989 three men died and one serious injury was sustained as a result of participation in Royal Marine training courses or exercises.
