HC Deb 05 May 2004 vol 420 c1529W
Mr. Keetch

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many members of the(a) SAS and (b) SBS have (i) applied and (ii) been accepted for premature voluntary retirement in each month of the last 12 months; and if he will make a statement. [167852]

Mr. Ingram

It is the Ministry of Defence's practice not to release information regarding United Kingdom Special Forces. I am therefore withholding details under Exemption 1 of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information.
