HC Deb 22 May 2002 vol 386 c366W
Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the total spend has been on exercises for each of the services in the past four years. [56194]

Mr. Ingram

Exercises are a fundamental activity for all military units not on operations at every level. To isolate, identify and cost the requested information, even if it were possible, could be done only at disproportionate cost.
