Agency personnel costs on a regional basis are not recorded centrally or by the agency.

Further information on personnel figures is available on the DASA website at http://www.dasa.mod.uk The number of Service personnel employed by agency and location is not collated centrally. In the case of the pay and personnel agency, locally held records confirm that no Service personnel have been employed in Scotland since the agency formation in 1996.

Mr. Yeo: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many megawatts of installed capacity of wind power have been (a) applied for and (b) approved in each of the last five years in (i) England, (ii) Scotland and (iii) Wales. [221696] Mr. Mike O'Brien: The DTI is responsible for considering applications for consent under section 36 of the Electricity Act for wind farm projects of more than 50MW onshore and more than 1MW offshore in England and Wales. The DTI is also responsible for applications under the Transport and Work Act (TWA) for offshore wind farm projects in England only: the NAW has responsibility for TWA projects in Welsh waters. Smaller wind farm projects, less than 50MW, are dealt with by the relevant local planning authority, which should hold the details of these. For Scotland, the Scottish Executive is responsible for the consenting function for wind farm projects over 50MW. The figures within the table are based on the information obtained by the DTI for all wind farm projects both large (under section 36) and smaller (outside section 36).
