answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2014 answer text <p>I have studied Chemical Biological Radiation Nuclear and Damage Control (CBRNDC), including firefighting, as part of my training as a Royal Navy Reservist. This is a mix of academic study and practical exercises carried out at a number of locations including BRNC Dartmouth, Phoenix CBRNDC School and sea-time on a warship, in my case HMS Bulwark during the Cougar 13 deployment. I have carried out this training over the last 3 years. It is not possible to calculate the number of hours spent on firefighting training but the syllabus for this requirement of Royal Naval Reservist training follows that in the Royal Navy Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defence Manual BR2170.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 28/11/2014 14:35:25 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
