	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>Our Armed Forces are rightly held to the highest standards and credible, serious allegations of criminal behaviour must be investigated, in accordance with the Armed Forces Act 2006. Operation Northmoor is an independent investigation conducted by the Royal Military Police (RMP). It has discounted over 90% of the 675 allegations received because there was no evidence of a criminal or disciplinary offence. To date no case has been referred to the Service Prosecuting Authority but the investigations continue and the investigators will follow the evidence where it leads them. The RMP has full investigative independence and the Ministry of Defence has not influenced in any way the scope and duration of Operation Northmoor.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 17/07/2017 15:42:43 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
