Army Board

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many internal flights were taken by the (a) Adjutant General, (b) Chief of the General Staff, (c) non-ministerial members of the Army Board and (d) Assistant Chief of the General Staff in 2006; how many of those flights were with (i) military and (ii) commercial carriers; and what the cost was.
Answer

[pursuant to the reply, 11 June 2007, Official Report, c. 752W]: I stated that the number of military flights taken by the Chief of the General Staff consisted of 26 RAF rotary and fixed wing and 35 Army rotary wing flights. These figures were incorrect and should have read as 23 RAF and 14 Army flights. The error occurred due to double counting.
