Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to paragraph 2.5 on page 19 of the National Audit Office's report, Ensuring sufficient skilled military personnel, published on 18 April 2018, what assessment his Department has made on the effect of the shortfall of intelligence analysts on its operations and its ability to deliver agreed defence tasks.

The Ministry of Defence does not publish the names or specific details of Operational Pinch Points (OPPs) as this information would, or would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces. The Armed Forces continue to meet all their operational commitments.
