Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if the Government will establish an independent inquiry into deaths at Deepcut Barracks.
You may be aware that Liberty, who represent the families of Cheryl James, Sean Benton and James Collinson, wrote to the Secretary of State for Defence last month requesting that he convene an independent public inquiry into allegations of physical and sexual abuse at Deepcut. The Ministry of Defence is currently considering the matters raised in Liberty's letter. I will write with a full response once this process has been completed.
