HC Deb 19 January 1996 vol 269 c858W
Mr. Flynn

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer of 9 January,Official Report, column 101, what is his calculation of the sums spent by regiments and groups other than his Department on training for each service in each of the past five years. [9725]

Mr. Soames

[holding answer 16 January 1995]: Any such expenditure, if it occurs, would be from non-public funds and therefore would fall outside the accountability of my Department. Consequently, the information requested is not collected centrally.
