HC Deb 07 December 1992 vol 215 c543W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many financial and administrative staff are currently deployed in the former Yugoslavia; if he will outline their roles; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Within British forces there are 27 personnel, both service and civilian, employed on financial or administrative duties. Their role is to support the deployment in the areas of public information, postal and courier service, contracts, financial monitoring and accounts, and ensure that soldiers' circumstances are properly recorded and any pay and allowance matters promptly dealt with.
