question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many people employed by the armed forces have a declared disability.
tabling member constituency	Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross
tabling member printed	Jamie Stone
uin	158320
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2018 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence recognises disability in Armed Forces personnel as part of a diverse workforce. However, the Armed Forces currently have a disability exemption from the Equality Act 2010 because of their requirement to achieve and maintain operational effectiveness, part of which rests on the need for all personnel to be interoperable and able to carry out a wide range of functions frequently at short notice. Disability declarations are therefore not required from Service personnel.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 06/07/2018 13:07:40 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
