n/a = Not available Notes: 1. The full-time trained strength and requirement includes Full Time Reserve Service (FTRS) personnel, but excludes mobilised reservists. FTRS personnel were created under the Reserve Forces Act 1998 and hence there are no FTRS figures included within the 1 April 1997 and 1 April 1998 strengths. 2. All figures are rounded to the nearest 10. Numbers ending in five have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.

Seconded Personnel
Mr. Hancock:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what account is taken of the wishes of foreign governments in decisions on whether to disclose information relating to the secondment of British personnel to countries to provide (a) training, (b) operational support and (c) expert advice. [101404]
Des Browne:
Any request to disclose information relating to the secondment of members of HM armed forces to foreign countries would be considered on a case by case basis and handled in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act. Where a third party originated or has a direct interest in the information requested, it is our policy to consult and consider any comments in determining whether disclosure would be prejudicial and in assessing the balance of public interest. The proactive disclosure of any information would, of course, be decided in discussion with the foreign Government concerned.
Serco
Mr. Hoban:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the length is of each contract his Department has with Serco; what services are provided under each contract; and where services are provided in each case. [118965]
Mr. Ingram:
According to central departmental records the Ministry of Defence currently has some 132 direct contracts with Serco. They are listed in the following table and indicate where the services are provided by geographical (rather than MOD site) location. Broadly, the services provided range from provision of task management, operation and maintenance services, information systems support, facilities operation and management, training and systems engineering and advice on nuclear safety. Other information, including indirect sub contracts, is not held centrally or in the format requested and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
