asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to which countries Britain has provided training for police and special force personnel during 1986 (a) in Britain and (b) overseas; which of these arrangements were financed by the British Government; and which of those were financed by the aid programme.

The training was arranged by a number of Government Departments, principally the Overseas Development Administration and the Home Office. The bulk of this training was financed under the aid programme, but precise details of the financing arrangements for individual countries are not readily available in the form requested and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
It is not our practice to provide details of training for special force personnel.
