<p>Since April 2007 (when offences started to be recorded on the Joint Personnel Administration
system), no members of the Royal Navy or Royal Air Force have been investigated or
discharged from Service as a result of membership of the named organisations.</p><p>During
that time, less than five (this figure is rounded to avoid identification) members
of the Army were investigated and discharged due to membership of National Action.</p><p>Extremist
ideologies are completely at odds with the values and standards of the military. We
have robust measures in place, including during the recruitment process, to ensure
those exhibiting extremist views are neither tolerated nor permitted to serve.</p><p>We
are working with the Home Office to implement the Prevent programme across the Armed
Forces, including training personnel to ensure they are aware of what to do if they
believe an individual is showing signs of radicalisation.</p>
