As the Secretary of State for Defence, my right hon. Friend, the Member for Sevenoaks, (Michael Fallon) reported in his Written Statement of 28 May 2015 (Column 1WS), and as I reiterated during the Adjournment Debate the same day (Column 293), neither the operational effectiveness of our continuous at-sea deterrent nor the safety of our submariners or members of the public has been compromised.<\/p>
The Ministry of Defence has an ongoing programme of work to review and, where appropriate, improve safety and security at HM Naval Base Clyde but will not comment on the detail of those arrangements.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4017", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Penny Mordaunt"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Portsmouth North"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Penny Mordaunt"} , "attachment" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/346865/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "Written Statements.doc 28 May HOC 129.doc"} , "title" : "WMS Hansard Extract 28 May 2015"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/346865/answer/attachment/2", "fileName" : {"_value" : "28 May 2015.doc HM N Naval Base Clyde.doc"} , "title" : "HM Naval Base Clyde Hansard Extract 28 May 2015"} ], "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-06-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-06-02T16:16:40.153Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-05-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Clyde Naval Base: Security"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of security arrangements at the HMS Neptune base at Faslane (a) in general and (b) around berthed Trident submarines at the base.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/545", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Paul Flynn"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newport West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Paul Flynn"} ], "uin" : "136"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/346866", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Defence"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/346866/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

As the Secretary of State for Defence (Michael Fallon) said in his Written Statement of 28 May 2015 (Column 1WS), and as was reiterated during the Adjournment Debate the same day (Column 293), I can assure the House and the general public that the recently reported comments and concerns raised by an Able Seaman following his first submarine deployment have been thoroughly investigated. That investigation concluded that neither the operational effectiveness of our continuous at-sea deterrent nor the safety of our submariners or members of the public has been compromised.<\/p>
