Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many ministerial red boxes belonging to his Department have (a) been reported missing or lost or (b) had their security features removed in order that they can be purchased for personal use by former ministers from 1 May 2018 to 30 April 2023.

I can confirm that no ministerial red boxes have been reported missing or lost between 1 May 2018 to 30 April 2023 or had their security features removed.
