Ministry of Defence: Disciplinary Proceedings
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many officials were investigated under their Department's disciplinary processes in each of the last 5 years.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
In this instance, ‘disciplinary process’ has been defined as a misconduct and discpline case and ‘officials’ as Civil Servants. The table below shows the total number of misconduct cases over the last five years.
Financial Year | Number of Misconduct cases |
2020-21 | 151 |
2021-22 | 151 |
2022-23 | 209 |
2023-24 | 304 |
2024-25 | 334 |
The total numbers of misconduct cases that had full investigations is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
