Vol. 396 No. 8

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Second Line Reserve.

Michael Bell

Question:

14 Mr. Bell asked the Minister for Defence, having regard to the second line reserve, the man hours initially and finally allocated in 1989 from command and corps; the number of man hours taken up in respect of annual training; the number by rank and command and corps to which this relates; the type of courses involved; in respect of security duties, the number by rank, command and corps; and the initial allocation of man hours in 1990.

As the reply is in the form of a tabular statement I propose to circulate it in the Official Report.
