Mr. Keith Simpson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is the current proportion of (a) the Army and (b) Land Command (i) committed and (ii) warned to deploy for operations. [81668]

As at 15 April, the figures requested were as follows:

Percentage

Army personnel	36.1	22.5
Land Command personnel	55.3	34.5

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what proportion of the TA is (i) deployed and (ii) warned to deploy for operations in the Balkans. [81664]

420 members of the Territorial Army (TA) are currently deployed to the Balkans, the majority in Bosnia, and these represent some 0.74 per cent. of the overall TA. It is likely that a further 80 will be deployed shortly, representing a further 0.14 per cent. of the TA.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many of the Army's armoured infantry battalions and mechanised infantry battalions are (a) currently employed on operations and (b) warned to deploy for operations. [81660]
