answer text <p>Army medicals result in the allocation of a graded &quot;medical deployability standard&quot; reflecting those active roles for which personnel are declared fit. It is not a simple pass or fail. Unlike their regular counterparts, Army Reserve personnel do not undertake annual medical assessments. The only mandatory medicals are during the recruitment process and during mobilisation. The medical care of Reserve personnel lies with their General Practitioners and the National Health Service unless they are mobilised at which point the medical care responsibility transfers to the Defence Medical Services.</p> more like this

answer text <p>On 18 October 1993, the then Secretary of State for Defence informed Parliament (Official Report, column 32): &quot;we have concluded that our previous requirement for a new stand-off nuclear weapon capability is not a sufficiently high priority to justify the procurement of a new nuclear system in the current circumstances. Instead, we will plan, after the WE177 eventually leaves service in the long term, on exploiting the flexibility and capability of the Trident system to provide the vehicle for the delivery of our sub-strategic deterrent.&quot;</p><br /><p>Also on 19 July 1993 (HC Deb vol 229 cc83-4W), the then Minister for Defence Procurement provided the following information about expenditure to evaluate options for the Future Theatre Nuclear Weapon:</p><br /><p>Expenditure to the end of March 1993 on studies of possible vehicles:</p><br /><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>£</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1989-90</p></td><td><p>928,518</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1990-91</p></td><td><p>1,372,329</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1991-92</p></td><td><p>1,870,285</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>1992-93</p></td><td><p>2,658,471</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Information on costs incurred on the Future Theatre Nuclear Weapon warhead programme was withheld for reasons of national security. Those reasons no longer apply but this information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.</p><br /><p><br></p>
