answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2014 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not have targets for increasing diversity. <br><br>In 2012 the MOD published its Strategic Equality Objectives in accordance with the statutory requirements flowing from the Equality Act 2010 to promote equality. These objectives, including the advancement of equality of opportunity, were endorsed by the Defence Board to reflect the fact that the duty to promote equality sits squarely at the top of the Department.<br><br>In September 2013, the Permanent Secretary and Chief of the Defence Staff announced the establishment of a Defence Diversity and Inclusion Programme, with the aim of making a tangible and meaningful change in the MOD's approach to diversity and diversity outcomes. <br><br>The primary aim of the programme is to make the workforce more representative of society at all levels, and metrics will be used to measure success.<br><br>The MOD publishes a biannual breakdown of diversity statistics which contains analysis of all diversity categories for both civilian and Service Personnel.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The table below shows the number of recorded investigations by the Royal Military Police for rape, sexual assault and domestic violence where the alleged offending took place in the UK in the years 2010, 2011 and 2012.</p><table><tbody><tr><td>Year</td><td>Rape</td><td>Sexual Assault</td></tr><tr><td>2010</td><td>~</td><td>25</td></tr><tr><td>2011</td><td>5</td><td>20</td></tr><tr><td>2012</td><td>5</td><td>15</td></tr></tbody></table><p><br><br>The figures have been rounded to the nearest five. The figure “~” represents a sample of less than five. The specific figure has not been disclosed to ensure that the alleged victim(s) cannot be identified. This is in line with the Sexual Offences (Amendments) Act 1976 and 1992.<br><br>Because of the way domestic violence statistics are recorded it is taking some time to collate the information. I will write to the hon. Member with an answer shortly. <br><br>The Royal Military Police is the Army's police force and together with its Royal Navy and Royal Air Force counterparts, are collectively known as the Service Police. Under Home Office Circular 028/2008, which defines investigative jurisdiction in the UK, primacy generally rests with the civilian police, although the Service Police may take the lead in an investigation if both the suspect and the victim in a particular case are serving members of the Armed Forces.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 18/06/2014 16:40:19 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
