To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many people were in the Territorial Army on 1 January(a) 1997 and (b) 2004. [179379]

Mr. Caplin

The strength of the Territorial Army (TA) on 1 January 2004 was 38,900. This includes 3,320 Mobilised Reservists.

The hon. Member will recall from my reply to him on 26 January that I am unable to provide comparable figures for 1 January 1997.
