To ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) what is the membership of the Officer Training Corps in each institution in which it operates; [13757](2) what percentage of members of the Officer Training Corps subsequently join the regular forces. [13756]

[pursuant to his answers, 5 November 1997, Official Report, col. 254]: The figures for OTC establishments given include not only the authorised numbers of Officer Cadets, but also a number of instructor and support staff. The number of Officer Cadets for which each Officer Training Corps is established is shown in the following table, together with the total establishment which was given in my earlier reply:

	Total establishment	Officer cadets
Aberdeen	168	140
Belfast	168	140
Birmingham	168	140
Bristol	168	140
Cambridge	224	198
East Midlands	168	140
Edinburgh	168	140
Exeter	168	140
Glasgow	168	140
Leeds	168	140
Liverpool	168	140
London	364	322
Manchester	168	140
Northumbria	168	140
Oxford	224	198
Sheffield	168	140
Southampton	168	140
Tayforth	168	140
Wales	168	140

This means that the 260 members of the OTC commissioned into the Regular Forces in academic year 1995–96 represent nearly 9 per cent. of the Officer Cadet establishment, not 7.5 per cent. as I said in my separate answer of 5 November 1997.
