Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether an exercise, selection or training event would be cancelled in the event that some participants collapsed from heat exhaustion; and if he will make a statement.

Current Departmental guidance calls for an activity to be 'paused' when a participant is known to be suffering from heat exhaustion to allow time to assess the participant and the risk to all other participants. If others are deemed to be at risk, further control measures should be considered, including stopping the activity.
