§ Dr. ReidThe Ministry of Defence support to the combined cadet force is principally through access to service facilities and instructors. However, some money is made available to schools with CCFs to defray expenses incurred during cadet activities, and for administration.
This takes the form of an Annual Establishment Grant, calculated on the following basis. The rates given are for 1997–98
A flat rate of £252 per contingent.A grant of £17.57 for each of the first 40 cadets in each Service section.A grant of £12.32 for each subsequent cadet in each Service section.An additional grant of £4.90 for each cadet in an Army section.The allocation is based on the number of cadets on the strength of the contingent at 1 April each year.
I am placing a detailed list of the amount of money received by each school in support of combined cadet force activities in each year from 1994–95 to 1997–98 in the Library of the House.
