To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list(a) the sponsors of the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme and (b) their individual contributions since 1992. [5013]

Mr. Spellar

We are profoundly grateful to the sponsors of the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme, British Aerospace, Rolls-Royce and Vickers, which have since 1992 each contributed £14,250, and to Sir Neil Thorne for the very considerable moral and financial support he has lent the scheme since its inception in 1989.
