§ Mr. SheermanTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what have been the budgeting implications of reduction in numbers of service personnel involved in training in each of the past five years.
§ Mr. HanleyFollowing the introduction of the new management strategy, data is now collected by budgetary area—as shown in table 2.2 of Defence Statistics 1993—and not by programme. It is not possible to identify separately the budgetary implications of the reductions in numbers of service personnel involved in training without disproportionate cost.
