§ Mr. HarveyTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what has been the total cost of the rationalisation of the Royal Air Force structure by the creation of an additional command. [22413]
§ Mr. SoamesThere has been no increase in the number of RAF commands. RAF Germany ceased to be a separate command in April 1993 and now has group status within RAF Strike Command. RAF Logistics Command and RAF Personnel and Training Command were established on 1 April 1994 replacing RAF Support Command and the former Departments of AMSO and AMP. These changes result in significant overall cost savings.
