Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to help increase the number of cadets enrolled in school-based cadet units; what targets his Department has set for increasing cadet numbers in school-based cadet units in each of the next three years; and how much funding his Department has made available to help expand cadet numbers in school-based cadet units in the same period.

It is taking time to collate the required information to answer the hon. Member’s Questions. I will write to him when the information is available, and a copy of this letter will be placed in the Library of The House.
