Armed Forces: Protective Clothing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which standard ear defenders are issued to the armed forces.
Answered by Maria Eagle
There is not a 'standard' ear defender that is issued throughout the British Armed Forces.
Due to the varying nature of environments and tasks that require a form of ear protection, Service personnel will be issued with ear defenders that have been assessed as the most appropriate for the situation.
