asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will hold an inquiry into the recent use of soldiers as quarry in a bloodhound chase; and if he will discourage employment of Service men in such ways.

I am looking into the facts of this incident and will write to the hon. Member in due course.

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many commissioned officers have been seconded to Fort Bragg, USA, for specialist training during the last three years; and what was the nature of that training.

A total of 10 British officers have received training at the United States Army Institute for Military Assistance during the last three years. I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave him on 20th December about the nature of this training.—[Vol. 923, c. 127.]
