HC Deb 24 May 2000 vol 350 c568W
Mr. Quentin Davies

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the divorce rates for serving military personnel in(a) the Army, (b) the Royal Navy and (c) the Royal Air Force for the last 12 month period for which figures are available. [120408]

Mr. Spellar

[pursuant to his reply, 8 May 2000, c. 263–64W]: I have to advise that due to an administrative error the figure for married strength for the Royal Air Force at 1 April (1998–99) was incorrectly given as 22,417—this was, however, correctly given as the figure for the Royal Navy. The correct figure for the Royal Air Force should have read 34,808.
