Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his Department’s plans are for the Ministry of Defence Guard Service.
Security remains a priority for the Department and no decisions will be taken which would compromise the security of our personnel, information and assets.
The Ministry of Defence intends to fully explore and develop options, for the future provision of an effective unarmed guarding service for Defence establishments throughout the UK that achieves maximum value for money for tax payers. It is too early to determine how this service will be provided in the future.
