Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many trained arms control inspectors are employed by Her Majesty’s Government.

The only full-time inspectors employed by Her Majesty's Government are at the Joint Arms Control Implementation Group (JACIG). JACIG has 16 trained inspectors qualified to support Treaty-related inspections, evaluation and verification for Conventional Arms Control Treaties. Their emphasis is on the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe; Vienna Document 2011 and Open Skies. JACIG also observes inspections under the 1995 Dayton Accords peace agreement.
