§ Mr. CummingsTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement concerning the future funding of the Army Cadet Corps, Naval Cadet Corps and RAF Cadet Corps in the Easington constituency; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. HanleyThe arrangements for providing support for the cadet forces do not distinguish between units on the basis of parliamentary constituency. The cadet forces, like all other support functions of the Ministry of Defence, have been reviewed as part of the defence costs study.
