Military Service

Sir John Biggs-Davison
asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will give an estimate of the proportion of the population that has done any form of military service or training; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lee
The information requested is not available. Details of current strengths of regular, reserve and cadet forces are given in volume 2 of the Statement on the Defence Estimates 1985, tables 4.2 to 4.6.
