Mr. Adley
asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many live shells are fired in regular training annually by each individual member of the Army being trained on the Chieftain tank.
Mr. Duffy
The average number of live rounds of main armament ammunition fired annually by each individual member of the Army being trained on Chieftain tanks varies widely, but each tank crew is allocated at least 100 rounds annually for training and individual gunners would fire a significant proportion of the whole crew's allocation.
