<p>The Government has committed £50 million from LIBOR fines to increase the number
of cadet units in UK state schools through the Cadet Expansion Programme. The joint
Ministry of Defence/Department for Education programme is targeting schools in less
affluent areas and we have had a substantial number of applications to establish new
units. This demonstrates the interest that schools around the country have in the
programme.</p><p> </p><p>The expansion programme is well on track to achieve its target
of 500 cadet units parading in schools across the UK by 2020. As at June 2016, 350
units were parading and on 4 October 2016 the Secretary of State announced the next
wave of 25 new units in state schools which have been approved.</p><p> </p><p>The
