Armed Forces: Training Mr. Vara To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many members of foreign armed forces received (a) training and (b) hospitality at UK military establishments in each year since 2001, broken down by (i) nationality and (ii) reason for providing the training; and whether agreements applied to the provision of the training. Mr. Ingram Since April 2001 22,307 members of foreign armed forces from 148 countries have received training at military establishments in the United Kingdom. All of these individuals will have received some form of hospitality offered by the training establishment, ranging from a simple welcoming reception to the provision of MOD service accommodation. This applies to all course places whether they are part or fully paid for by MOD, or whether the country in question pays for the training itself. The provision of training places is governed by various Memoranda of Understanding and agreements. The principal objective of this training activity is to use British Defence assets to discourage hostility abroad, build and maintain trust between states, and assist in the development of democratically accountable armed forces; thereby helping to make a significant contribution to conflict prevention and resolution. The breakdown of countries receiving training, the total numbers of students trained by financial year, and details of whether training is delivered under some form of agreement is tabulated as follows:

Ann Winterton To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many members of the University Officer Training Corps have on leaving university signed up as (a) regulars and (b) territorials and have then served on a tour of operation in each of the last four years for which figures are available. Mr. Ingram The information requested is not held centrally.
