Funding for the ATC (Cadet forces generally) is pretty small - probably lost in the 'roundings' of the Accountants frankly compared to the overall defence budget.

Cost savings against 'non-vandalism' and associated 'kids hanging on street corners' are supposedly huge. So much so that not so long ago, the Home Office was considering funding the Cadet Forces when MoD whinged about budget cuts................

I think the term was that Cadets were not just military but part of the 'Fabric Of Society'..................(Blah, Blah, Blah) - maybe Dave Cameron should be advised that a big bit of his 'Big Society' just got chopped off.............I'm sure he'd care and get involved <<Yeah, right>>
