(a) SA National Defence Force and (b) SA Air Force in relation
to the 62% that has been spent on personnel employed in the SA
Navy;
(2) whether the cost to personnel is benchmarked against
international standards; if not, why not; if so, what are the

REPLY
I have no idea where the 62% figure of Navy personnel comes from, it
is completely incorrect. The Honourable member is advised to check his
facts as I am unable to answer the question on incorrect figures.
