HC Deb 19 November 2003 vol 413 c961W
Mr. David Marshall

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many defence-related jobs there are in each constituency in Scotland. [136188]

Mr. Ingram

United Kingdom Defence Statistics 2003 contains the numbers of service and Ministry of Defence civilian personnel in Scotland at 1 July 2000. Tri-Service Publication 10, produced by the Defence Analytical Services Agency, contains data on service personnel by local authority region. Both publications are available in the Library of the House.

The exact number of defence related jobs in each constituency in Scotland, including those related to defence expenditure by MOD on goods and services and defence export contracts in Scotland, is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
