HC Deb 20 March 2002 vol 382 c414W
Mr. Jenkins

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor"s Department how many members of staff of her Department are members of the Territorial forces; and if her Department has a strategy to encourage members of staff to become members of the Territorial forces. [44064]

Ms Rosie Winterton

We have staff who are members of the Territorial forces, although we keep no central record of numbers. We actively support members by providing eight working days paid special leave for training (of 15 days or more), as well as unpaid leave if they are required to undertake a period of mobilised service.
