Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) service personnel and (b) veterans have, as a result of the surveillance of private investigators, been accused of making a false injury claim against his Department for injuries sustained during service.

The number of current or former Service personnel that have been accused of making false injury claims against the MOD for injuries sustained during service is not held centrally as records are held internally or by our legal services providers. Therefore, it is not possible to answer the question without exceeding the disproportionate cost limit.
