Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the cost of providing adventurous training in Bavaria to each branch of the armed forces was in each of the last 10 years; how many personnel in each branch have participated in such training in each of those years; and if he will make a statement.
The Ministry of Defence does not hold records dating back 10 years, however over the last financial year (financial year 2014-15for the Navy and RAF, and predicted for financial year 2015-16 for the Army) the detailed breakdown of the costs to deliver adventurous training, by service, at each of the three adventurous training centres in Bavaria, are as follows:
Training Centre | Personnel Participating (approx) | Approx cost (per year) |
Force Development Training Centre (FDAT) Bavaria (RAF) | 1,740 | £850,000 |
Naval Outdoor Centre Germany (NOCG) (Navy) | 2,000 | £1.4 million |
Adventurous Training Centre (ATC) Bavaria (Army) | 1,300 | £3.5 million |
