This is a matter for the Chief Executive of the Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Centre. I have asked the Chief Executive to write to the hon. Member.

Letter from S. J. Lloyd to Mr. Mike Hancock, dated 19 March 1999: I am replying to your Question to the Secretary of State for Defence about the number of people currently employed at the Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Centre Defence Agency as this falls within my area of responsibility as Chief Executive. A total of 458 people are currently employed by the Joint Air Reconnaissance Intelligence Centre as at 11 March 1999. The figure at its inception in April 1996 was 485. I hope that you find that this answer gives you the information that you are seeking.
