The information requested is available in the following publications, copies of which are in the Library of the House1993–94: Departmental report by the MOD—the Government's expenditure plans 1995–96 to 1997–98 (Cm2801) (pages 30–31) 1994–95: MOD performance report 1994–95 (Cm3055 (pages 36–37) 1995–96: MOD performance report 1995–96 (Cm3448) (page 9) In the course of researching this question, an inconsistency in the reporting of the figures for 1993–94 has come to light.
