HC Deb 16 February 1995 vol 254 c826W
Mr. Galloway

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many employees of his Department are located in Scotland; and what that figure will be when the full effect of the defence costs study is implemented.

Mr. Freeman

As at 1 January 1995, more than 10,900 of my Department's 117,450 UK-based civilian staff were located in Scotland. Although these figures can be expected to reduce as a result of the defence costs study, the implementation of the study is not complete and its full effects cannot be judged at this stage.
