asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many (a) officers and (b) other ranks have so far been made redundant from each of the three Services as a result of the 1975 Defence White Paper; and how many of these have not yet found permanent employment.

At the latest late for which figures are available, 31st December 1975, 201 officers and 357 Service men had left the Armed Forces on redundancy. All were members of the Royal Air Force. I regret that the information sought in the second part of the Question is not available.
