answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>This information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. The Ministry of Defence does not directly allocate funding to Cadet forces, but instead funds are disaggregated to the single Services through the annual budget process. The single Services do not hold discrete cadet budgets and the cost of delivering and supporting cadet activity falls across a wide spread of different business areas, agencies and organisations.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 20/12/2018 15:32:27 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
