answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) works hard to detect and deter theft and there are robust processes in place to raise awareness of the need for vigilance in all aspects of security. Just as theft occurs in wider society, the MOD is not immune and we actively encourage individuals to report any evidence of loss or suspicion of theft. It is important to note that in some cases of reported theft the property is later recovered. In the case of key assets however, MOD sites have a wide range of additional security measures to ensure their safety.</p><p>111 reported incidents of theft that included items above £250 were recorded for the period 1 November 2014 - 31 October 2015. 60 reported incidents of theft that included items above £250 were recorded for the period 1 November 2015 - 31 October 2016.</p><p>In respect of the further detailed information requested concerning stolen items over £250 will take time to collate and I will write to the hon. Member shortly.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 08/11/2016 15:41:09 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

Friend the Secretary of State for Defence informed Parliament (HCWS49) that in future the Army plans to use Regular and Reserve Phase 1 trained personnel in response to crises within the UK. To reflect this, for both Regular and Reserve soldiers, the term 'Trained Strength' will include Phase 1 and Phase 2 Army personnel. This broader definition will be reflected in official statistics from 1 October 2016. The Royal Navy and Royal Air Force will continue to use their existing definitions of trained strength.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 08/11/2016 15:59:58 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
