Caparo Group
Mr. Graham Stuart: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether his Department holds contracts with any of the companies forming part of the Caparo Group. [302872]
Mr. Bob Ainsworth: The MOD holds a number of contracts with the Caparo Group, primarily for spare parts for military vehicles.
Defence Medical Services: Manpower
Nick Harvey: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will place in the Library a copy of the Defence Medical Services Manning Statistics from (a) April and (b) October 2009. [301832]
Mr. Kevan Jones:
Data relating to manning across the Defence Medical Services (DMS) are assembled twice a year, in April and October, for internal management purposes. I agreed on 26 October 2009, Official Report, column 30W, to provide the hon. Member with a breakdown of the October 2009 figures. This work should be completed shortly. A similarly detailed breakdown for last April could be provided only at disproportionate cost. I have decided that in future DMS manning statistics
will be published on an annual basis, with effect from 2010, based on data held as at 1 April. Future reports will show the required manning level of the DMS, the additional requirement for a manning and training margin, and the total number of personnel, split between the trained strength and those in training. I will arrange annually for this information to be published on the MOD website and for a copy to be placed in the Library of the House.
Departmental Consultants
Mr. Heald: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many external consultants work for his Department. [303235]
Mr. Kevan Jones: Specific data on the number of consultants employed by the Ministry of Defence are not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
MOD expenditure on external assistance, which includes management and other types of consultancy, has been reported to Parliament since 1995-96. Summaries are available in the Library of the House.
Furthermore, information on organisations, including consultancy firms, paid £5 million or more by the MOD in each financial year is published in the UK Defence Statistics. Copies are placed in the Library of the House.
Departmental Information Officers
Willie Rennie: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how much was claimed in reimbursable expenses by press officers in his Department in 2008-09. [301405]
Mr. Bob Ainsworth: 35 press officers are currently employed by the central MOD media and communications unit and the Regional Defence Press Officer Network. From 1 January to 23 November 2009 they were reimbursed a total of £40,321 for travel and subsistence costs incurred in the conduct of official duty, mainly providing media support to service personnel, officials, chiefs and Ministers.
Costs are principally incurred in terms of vehicle fuel, public transport, car hire, and subsistence (accommodation and meals, including that required while training for deployment overseas) while on duty away from the workplace in the UK and overseas. The majority of the costs (£24,158) were incurred by the eight regional Defence press officers whose work routinely requires them to travel across the length and breadth of the UK.
Currently, there are 110 press officers employed across the Ministry of Defence (as recorded in the Central Office of Information's White Book). 35 work within the MOD's main press office and the remaining 75 (those other civilian and military staff with a clear media and communications role) are principally distributed in support of the armed forces' frontline commands, in overseas headquarters such as in Germany and Cyprus, and in the permanent joint headquarters in support of current operations. Figures for the remaining 75 and for those who have left the Department during this period are not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
Mr. Heald: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many full-time equivalent press officers (a) are employed by and (b) work for his Department. [303596]
Mr. Kevan Jones: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 20 October 2009, Official Report, column 1364W to the hon. Member for Dunfermline and West Fife (Willie Rennie).
Ex-servicemen
Andrew Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what recent meetings he has had with groups representing armed forces veterans. [302825]
Mr. Bob Ainsworth: I regularly meet with veterans and groups representing them, most recently on 7 and 8 November 2009 during Remembrance weekend.
I also met with veterans and groups representing them on 25 October 2009 at Westminster Abbey; at the Parliamentary Reception for Veterans and Cadets from Enfield North on 3 March 2009; and with veterans from the Leyland, Lancashire and Warrington constituencies on 17 July 2009.
My hon. Friend the Minister for Veterans, also regularly meets with veterans and groups representing them.
Iraq and Afghanistan: Peacekeeping Operations
Dr. Murrison: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many servicemen on service in (a) Iraq and (b) Afghanistan sustained (i) injuries to, (ii) partial loss of and (iii) complete loss of their genitalia in each year since 2003. [303977]
Mr. Kevan Jones: I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for North-East Milton Keynes (Mr. Lancaster) on 25 November 2009, Official Report, column 152W.
Joint Rapid Reaction Force
Dr. Fox: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence which unit forms the Spearhead Land Element (SLE); whether it is presently fully equipped; whether the present SLE is deployed; and when the future SLE will take over from the present SLE. [304357]
Bill Rammell: The Royal Highland Fusiliers, 2nd Battalion the Royal Regiment of Scotland forms the Spearhead Land Element (SLE), which is not currently deployed. The SLE is fully equipped in accordance with the Joint Rapid Reaction Force Directive and operational mounting instructions. The next SLE will be provided by 1 R IRISH, who will assume this role from 14 December 2009.
Dr. Fox: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence which unit forms the Small Scale Contingent Battle Group; whether it is presently fully equipped; whether the present group is deployed; and when the future Small Scale Contingent Battle Group will take over from the current group. [304358]
Bill Rammell: 42 Commando, Royal Marines, forms the Small Scale Contingent Battle Group (SSCBG), which is not currently deployed. The SSCBG is equipped according to their readiness state. The SSCBG will, on current plans, be replaced by the Lead Commando Group (from 3 Commando Brigade) and the Air Assault Task Force (from 16 Air Assault Brigade) by 31 December 2011.
