Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what data his Department holds on complaints by Armed Forces personnel about the quality of food served in military bases.

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) is committed to ensuring that Service personnel receive good quality meals and takes any issues very seriously. Any complaints are investigated with our suppliers.

Data on complaints is held at each messing facility. Service personnel can log complaints directly at the point of sale, on customer helpdesks and through their Chain of Command.

Where incidents are escalated, they are captured in regional helpdesks and Key Performance Indicators portals, logs are reviewed weekly by MOD and Contractors.
