Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his Department's letter of 27 February 2019 to the hon. Member for Bridgend on the Health and Safety Executive, what is meant by the phrase centrally reported.
The phrase centrally reported refers to information recorded at Top Level Budget or equivalent Defence Authority Chief Executive level. Whilst this is considered to be the totality of contraventions it cannot be verified without contacting each site across Defence. To do so could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
