3 Dec 2007 : Column 828W—continued
Statistics have been rounded to the nearest 10, numbers ending in five have been rounded to the nearest multiple of 20 to prevent systematic bias.
Army: Scotland
Angus Robertson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what percentage of army troops was from (a) Scottish regiments and (b) the Royal Regiment of Scotland in each year since 2003. [168895]
Mr. Bob Ainsworth:
While there are regiments which can be considered as having direct Scottish lineage, there is no single recognised definition of a ‘Scottish Regiment’. I can, however, advise that since 2003, Regular Army units which recruit predominantly from, and are historically affiliated to, Scotland have represented roughly between 4 per cent. and 5 per cent. of the British Army.
Angus Robertson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what percentage of army troops who have been injured or wounded (a) by accident and (b) in action in each year since 2003 was from (i) Scottish regiments and (ii) the Royal Regiment. [168896]
Derek Twigg:
The information is not held in the format requested and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
Ballistic Missile Defence
Nick Harvey:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what public consultation was conducted before 25 July 2007 on the use of Menwith Hill as part of the US ballistic missile defence system. [168867]
Des Browne:
The Ministry of Defence published a discussion document on missile defence in November 2002, ahead of a full debate in the House in 2003. The principles underlying ballistic missile defence, as they affect the UK, have not changed since then.
Nick Harvey:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what discussions he has had with his Czech and Polish counterparts on the US Ballistic Missile Defence programme; and if he will make a statement. [168868]
Des Browne:
It is not the practice of the Government to make public details of all discussions with foreign Governments as this would, or would be likely to, prejudice international relations. However, the issue of missile defence is routinely discussed with our allies in a number of NATO forums.
Chief of the General Staff's Briefing Team Report 2007
Dr. Fox:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will place in the Library a copy of the Chief of the General Staff's Briefing Team Report 2007. [169464]

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what discussions he had with his EU counterparts at the meeting of Defence Ministers in Brussels on 19 November 2007; and if he will make a statement. [169465]
