Defence: Vocational Guidance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking with (a) Cabinet colleagues and (b) educational institutions to help ensure the safety of defence industry representatives at university recruitment events.
Answered by Maria Eagle
This Government fully supports defence companies and their personnel attending events in the higher education sector to demonstrate the benefits and opportunities of careers in the defence sector. They should be able to do so confident they will be safe and free from intimidation. Alongside my counterparts in the Department for Business and Trade and the Department for Education I am working with the higher education sector to ensure appropriate measures are taken to support the safety of those attending such events.
