Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme

Ann Clwyd
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list (a) the sponsors of the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme and (b) their individual contributions since 1992. [5013]

Mr. Spellar
We are profoundly grateful to the sponsors of the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme, British Aerospace, Rolls-Royce and Vickers, which have since 1992 each contributed £14,250, and to Sir Neil Thorne for the very considerable moral and financial support he has lent the scheme since its inception in 1989.
