University Officer Training Corps: Southampton

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the annual cost of running the University Officer Training Corps unit in Southampton was in each year between 2008 and 2018.

Answer

Due to a change in the way the Army holds information, the annual costs for each University Officer Training Corps (UOTCs) are only held centrally for the financial year 2017-18 and 2018-19.

The information for the financial years prior to 2017 could be provided only at disproportionate cost. The information held is as follows:
