answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2015 answer text <p>As per my answer on 3 March 2015 to Question 219659, the Ministry of Defence based Libyan personnel at Bassingbourn because it offered the required facilities for training and did not affect wider UK military training. As part of the preparation of Bassingbourn for training, security improvements were carried out, such as fencing off areas of the camp from local residences. The Army also held rehearsal meetings at Bassingbourn to identify and coordinate the mitigation of risks, including with the Home Office and the police. The Department has also met with Cambridge City Council following the termination of the training to discuss the findings of the report, and has written to them on a number of occasions.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 06/07/2015 15:45:38 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
