Answer

Angus Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much of its personnel budget for financial years (a) 2001-02, (b) 2000-01, (c) 1999-2000, (d) 1998-99 and (e) 1997-98 the Defence Clothing Integrated Project Team spent in Scotland (i) in monetary terms and (ii) as a percentage of the total personnel budget for that year; how many personnel were employed in Scotland; and if he will make a statement. [217239] Mr. Ingram: The Defence Clothing Integrated Project Team, which formed in April 2001, had no expenditure on personnel in Scotland for 2001-02. Its predecessor, the Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency (DCTA), had no expenditure on personnel in Scotland in 1998-99, 1999-2000 and 2000-01. Local records held on the Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency (DCTA) indicate that there was an overall personnel budget in 1997-98 of £11.8 million of which approximately £1.3 million was spent in Scotland, equating to about 11 per cent. of its budget. Of the 550 full-time equivalent civilian personnel in the Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency (DCTA) in 1997-98, 40 were employed in Scotland. Both civilian and Service personnel data by Agency are collated annually at 1 April and presented in Table 2.6 of UK Defence Statistics, a copy of which is held in the House of Commons Library. Further information on personnel figures is also available on the DASA website at www.dasa.mod.uk.
