Armed Forces: Mortuaries
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what estimate he has made of the number of mortuary affairs qualified personnel within the Armed Forces.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
The Ministry of Defence does not routinely publish the number of qualified personnel in niche operational capability areas, as disclosure would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness and security of the Armed Forces.
However, I can confirm that work is ongoing through Future Force Design and Capability Development to assess and refine the requirement for Mortuary Affairs personnel and equipment in support of future warfighting demands.
