RAF Halton
Mr. Lidington: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence which customers purchased (a) spare capacity training and (b) spare capacity resources from RAF Halton in each year since 1998. [217587]
Mr. Bob Ainsworth: The RAF has had a contract with HORIZON to market spare training capacity at RAF Halton since 2001. I am withholding the list of HORIZON'S customers as its release would, or would be likely to, prejudice commercial interests. Details of customers for spare capacity at RAF Halton prior to 2001 are not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
Since financial year 2004-05, approximately 1,500 customers have purchased spare resource capacity from RAF Halton. I will write to the hon. Member with the names of these customers.
Substantive answer from Bob Ainsworth to David Lidington:
I undertook to write to you in answer to your Parliamentary Question on 14 July 2008, (Official Report, column 177W) that asked for a list of customers who purchased spare capacity training and spare capacity resources from RAF Halton in each year since1998.
The list of customers who have purchased spare resource capacity is detailed below, as promised. RAF Halton holds records of these customers from the beginning of Financial Year 2001-02.
However the IT system at the station was not working when I originally answered this question. Using this newly accessible information, officials have clarified that the number of different customers is in fact around 260 since 2001-02 rather than 1,500 since 2004-05 quoted previously. On further investigation, the information in the original answer turned out to be the number of enquiries the station received concerning spare resource capacity rather than the number of actual customers. I apologise for this error.
Included within these figures are some 80 individuals who have purchased spare resource capacity from RAF Halton whose names have been withheld from this list in accordance with the Data Protection Act.
Records before 2001-02 are not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
