Cadets: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which combined cadet forces (CCF) based in state comprehensive schools received funds from the public purse in the last three years; and how much of those funds each such CCF received in each of those years.

Answer

The requested information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

The funding support which the Ministry of Defence provides for Combined Cadet Forces (CCF) units is based on the number of active cadets and the number of single Service sections within the unit, irrespective of whether the unit is in an independent or state school. State schools will receive the same funding support for their CCFs as fee-paying schools with the same number of cadets and single Service sections.
