question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many claims have been made against UK (a) servicemen and (b) servicewomen in the past twenty-five years.
tabling member constituency	North Durham
tabling member printed	Mr Kevan Jones
uin	93536
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/09/2020 answer text <p>It is not possible to answer the right hon. Member's question put which asks how many claims, which for the purposes of this response are deemed to be common law claims for damages, have been made against UK servicemen and servicewomen in the last 25 years without exceeding the disproportionate cost limit. It is usual practice for claimants, or solicitors acting on their behalf, in pursuance of common law claims for damages that allege negligence on the part of UK service personnel to bring the claim against the Ministry of Defence or the Secretary of State for Defence rather than an individual UK serviceman or service woman. The Ministry of Defence would not necessarily be made aware of any common law claim for damages brought against an individual UK serviceman or UK servicewoman. Whilst some information is held relating to the question posed, that information is not sufficient to enable the provision of a response to this question. The Department does not record separately information that would serve to confirm the causative nature of the incident that gives rise to individual claims or gender specific information that would enable a determination as to whether it was the alleged negligent action of a UK serviceman or UK servicewoman that caused the incident and therefore it is not possible to determine which of those claims received during the past 25 years arose out of the alleged negligent actions of a UK serviceman or UK servicewoman without reviewing all of the common law claims for damages received in that period.</p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 29/09/2020 16:27:12 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the cost to the public purse is of mobilising reservists under Operation Rescript.
tabling member constituency	North Durham
tabling member printed	Mr Kevan Jones
uin	93540
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/09/2020 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence has mobilised 1,800 reservists in support of Operation RESCRIPT. The cost of their mobilisation will depend on the individual circumstances of each reservist and the duration of their mobilisation. The Department does not, therefore, yet have a full understanding of the cost to the public purse and wouldn’t expect to have one until all reservists working on RESCRIPT have finally been de-mobilised.</p><p>Our reservists play a vital part in our response to the pandemic and will be critical in providing further resilience this winter. We will continue to mobilise reservists as required and recognise how essential their skills and experience have been in allowing Defence to provide such outstanding support to other Government departments over the last six months.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 25/09/2020 13:33:18 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey
