(1) Estimate

In addition there are a number of regimental museums which have their costs paid direct by the Department.
Territorial Army
Mike Penning:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many Territorial Army centres there were in each of the last 10 years. [196871]
Mr. Bob Ainsworth
[holding answer 26 March 2008]: In 1998 there were 455 Territorial Army Centres. Following the Strategic Defence Review a decision was taken to reduce this number to 341, with 27 being retained for use by cadet force units and the remainder being disposed of. As at 1 March 2008 there were 362 centres in use by the Territorial Army.
Information on the specific number of Territorial Army Centres in existence in each year since 1998 could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
War Pensions
Colin Challen:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many veterans of the Second World War are in receipt of a war pension. [196803]
Derek Twigg:
Information on Veterans of the Second World War in receipt of a War Pensions could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
Scotland

Copies of each of these are in the Libraries of the House. They are also available on the Cabinet Office website at:

Education: Finance
Mr. Ruffley:
