	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2019 answer text <p>Allegations of this type are recorded under the category of bullying and harassment. On average, 10 allegations of bullying and harassment have been made within each of the three previous financial years by members of the Army Cadet Force units in Northern Ireland, although this should not be taken to assume there were 10 in each year; the numbers vary. This will include cadets and all Cadet Force Adult Volunteers (officers, adult instructors and non-uniformed volunteers). To provide the number of allegations made by those holding the rank of Lieutenant and above would be disclosive given the very small number involved.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 14/05/2019 15:19:33 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
