§ Mrs. ClwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make it his policy to make available information on military aid to foreign countries. [16723]
§ Mr. SoamesWe disclose details of those countries which receive United Kingdom training, whether in the UK or overseas, and also the total numbers of students concerned during any particular period. It is not normally our practice to disclose the precise details of military training given to any particular country as such details are regarded as being confidential between Governments. There are no plans to change this policy.
