HL Deb 30 June 2004 vol 663 c36WA

Lord Astor of Hever asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the cost on average to the Armed Forces per recruit undergoing basic training. [HL3313]

Lord Bach:

The Ministry of Defence currently does not have a unified approach for costing the discrete components of individual training across the three services. Work is under way to develop a consistent methodology for costing training outputs across defence.
