answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2014 answer text <p>It is our policy that all Armed Forces personnel should be recruited to be fully fit for deployment worldwide on operations. For this reason, the Services do not recruit personnel with existing medical conditions which may adversely impact on the effectiveness of the Armed Forces, or which may themselves be exacerbated by military circumstances. <br><br>Whilst those diagnosed with autism are excluded from joining the Services on medical grounds, those individuals suffering mild or entirely non-disabling Asperger’s Syndrome may meet the entry standards following an assessment by an occupational health physician and gaining a favourable assessment after pre-entry tests of suitability for military service. <br><br>Recruitment may be permitted for those with ADHD where there is no history of violence or delinquent behaviour, there has been a period of more than three years freedom from symptoms and the candidate has been off all treatment for three years prior to application and is functioning normally.<br><br>The medical entry criteria undergo a rolling programme of revision and that for autism and ADHD have recently been reviewed. Unless new evidence is brought to our attention there is no requirement for a further review at this time.</p> answering member constituency Canterbury answering member printed Mr Julian Brazier question first answered 20/10/2014 15:47:08 answering member 77 label Biography information for Sir Julian Brazier

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2014 answer text <p>I have taken the hon. Member's question to refer to the Ministry of Defence's (MOD) transition work with the Welsh Government initiative for the development of an Air Business Park at MOD St Athan. <br><br>I understand that the hon. Member's questions refer to the use of an Instrument Landing System at MOD St Athan. The airfield is operated under military regulations, which do not require the use of an Instrument Landing System. The Welsh Government has arranged for the installation of an Instrument Landing System for future use by their commercial customers. I understand that while the equipment is fully operational, it has not yet been cleared for aircraft use. MOD officials have been informed that, pending formal clearance the Welsh Government is applying for a limited clearance to use the Instrument Landing System, in order to facilitate interim use by its commercial customers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry grouped question UIN 210173 question first answered 20/10/2014 15:44:07 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry previous answer version 22774 answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
