The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the workspace for Ministry of Defence Police at (a) DM Gosport and (b) other Defence Munition sites.

Answered by Al Carns

Defence site owners complete generic site assessments. The Ministry of Defence Police (MDP) assess the adequacy of their direct workspace, such as officer environs, and ensure equipment and vehicles are fit for officers to perform their duties safely and effectively.

The MOD takes the security of Defence people, assets and sites extremely seriously and MDP works with MOD stakeholders to manage and mitigate any risk to MOD security and to ensure that MDP deployment is optimised across Defence sites.
