I propose to take Question Nos. 1319 and 1320 together.

As there are various factors which would impact in calculating the estimated costings in the manner sought by the Deputy, such as the level of recruitment which varies over time and the numbers of recruits remaining in the Permanent Defence Force once recruited, can change as well, I am not in a position to provide the costing in the format sought.
