Mr. Whitehead
asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many deserters from Her Majesty's Forces have been apprehended in each year since 1960; how many have been charged with military offences; and what has been the total cost to the Exchequer of pay and travel warrants subsequently given to such deserters.
Mr. Pattie
This information is not readily available in the form requested. I shall write to the hon. Member.
