Army Board

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to the answer of 11 June 2007, Official Report, column 752W, on Army Board, if he will provide a breakdown of the internal flights taken by the Adjutant General in 2006; and what the purpose was of each flight.

Answer: On closer examination of the records my officials have discovered that the total number of flights undertaken by the Adjutant-General in 2006 given in answer on 11 June 2007, Official Report, column 752W was overstated. The Adjutant-General took a total of 49 internal flights in 2006; 10 by RAF rotary and fixed wing aircraft, 34 by Army Rotary Wing aircraft and five commercial flights. I am withholding the details of the individual flights as its disclosure would or would be likely to be prejudicial to his personal security.
