Mr. Menzies Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many members of the Army committed to operations in Northern Ireland were under 18 years of age on 23 June; and in which units. [89041] Mr. Doug Henderson: [holding answer 30 June 1999]: A total of 28 UK Trained Army Personnel under the age of 18 years were serving in Northern Ireland as at 1 June 1999, the latest date for which information is held centrally. A breakdown by individual regiments is shown in the table. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.

The minimum ages currently applied for deployment on active service in Northern Ireland are 18 years for an Emergency Tour, and 17 1/2 for Resident Units where they are confined to duties within the Barracks only.

Mr. Menzies Campbell: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what factors underlie recent trends in the number of referrals to the Gulf veterans' Medical Assessment Programme. [86224] Mr. Doug Henderson: The Gulf veterans' Medical Assessment Programme (MAP) was set up by the Ministry of Defence in 1993 to provide as full a diagnosis as possible to Gulf veterans who are concerned about their health, or provide reassurance if no illness is found. It will continue for as long as it is needed. So far during 1999, a weekly average of five new patients have been referred to the MAP. The comparable figure for 1997 is about 19 and for 1998 is 12. The Ministry of Defence has made no assessment of the factors underlying this trend but has taken a number of steps over the last two years to highlight the MAP's existence and its purpose. Most recently, for example, the Department of Health's Chief Medical Officer's May Update highlighted the existence of an information pack to provide GPs and other health professionals with information they may find useful in dealing with Gulf veterans' health concerns. This pack includes a section on the MAP. As of 15 June, my Department had sent 176 copies of the information pack in response to requests from doctors. The pack is also available on the Ministry of Defence's Gulf veterans' illnesses webpage (http://www.mod.uk/policy/gulfwar/index.htm) and was highlighted in the memorandum "Current Activity relating to Gulf Veterans' Illnesses" which I published in April. Copies have also been sent to various Parliamentarians and placed in the Library of the House.

[83629] Mr. Doug Henderson: [holding answer 12 May 1999]: The following is the information. TA strengths by month May 1998 to April 1999 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Month Total May 1998 55,735 June 1998 55,612 July 1998 55,070 August 1998 54,737 September 1998 54,145 October 1998 53,847 November 1998 54,430 December 1998 54,031 January 1999 53,466 February 1999 52,312 March 1999 51,456 April 1999 50,438 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Note: Figures do not include Non Regular Permanent Staff (NRPS) The establishment of the Territorial Army between 1 May 1998 and 1 May 1999 was 69,000. There is no ceiling on TA personnel. The drawdown in numbers evident from the start of 1999 reflects the gradual drawdown to the post SDR establishment of 41,204. It is our intention to recruit to the full establishment.
