<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>
