Deputy Prime Minister

Electoral Register

Jake Berry: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister how many registered voters there are who are (a) Commonwealth and (b) Irish but not British citizens. [193520]

Mr Hurd: The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.

Letter from Glen Watson:

As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking the Deputy Prime Minister how many registered voters there are who are (a) Commonwealth and (b) Irish but not British citizens (193520).

ONS does not hold information on the number of Commonwealth or Irish citizens registered to vote in UK elections.

ONS produces electoral statistics showing the total number of people registered to vote in local government, European parliamentary elections, and general elections. Although this total includes British citizens, Commonwealth citizens and citizens of the Republic of Ireland, data on the citizenship of registered voters are not collected.

The latest UK electoral statistics are for 1 December 2012 and were published on 28 February 2013. They are available on the ONS website at:

27 Mar 2014 : Column 316W

(3) how many complaints have been registered relating to prescribed behaviours from each branch of the armed forces in each year of operation of the Service Complaints Commission; and if he will make a statement; [193106]

(4) he will detail the number of complaints in each year of operation of the Service Complaints Commission by members of each branch of the armed forces; and if he will make a statement; [193109]

http://armedforcescomplaints.independent.gov.uk/linkedfiles/afcindependent/426354_ssc_ar_2012.pdf

Mrs Moon: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many people were employed on a daily fees basis to investigate service complaints in each year since 2010; how many days on average each such person was employed in 2010; what the average cost of employing such individuals was; and if he will make a statement. [192876]

Anna Soubry: In 2010 and 2011, there was no centralised system in place to capture such data. We do not, therefore, hold information covering these years. Data for 2012 and 2013 are currently being collated and will be published shortly in the Service Complaints Commissioner's 2013 Annual Report.

Armed Forces: Rape

Emily Thornberry: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether the military prosecutor who made the decision not to bring any charges in relation to the rape allegation brought by Corporal Anne-Marie Ellement had undertaken the specialist training on rape and sexual offences compulsory for CPS prosecutors who work on rape cases at the time of that decision. [191580]

Anna Soubry: I will write to the hon. Member shortly.

Substantive answer from Anna Soubry to Emily Thornberry:

In my answer of 20 March 2014 (Official Report, column 701W) I undertook to write to you in response to your parliamentary question regarding the qualifications of the military prosecutor in the rape allegation made by Corporal Anne-Marie Ellement.

Specialist training on Rape and Serious Sexual Offences (RASSO) was established for CPS Personnel in 2007. At the time of the decision not to bring charges in relation to the allegation brought by Corporal Ellement, this training was not mandatory for SPA prosecutors and had not been undertaken by the military prosecutor who made the decision.

The prosecutor concerned was highly experienced; having prosecuted nineteen rape and sexual assault cases during his assignment to the Authority. He met Cpl Ellement to explain why and how he had reached his decision. The then Director of Service

27 Mar 2014 : Column 317W

Prosecutions carried out a detailed review of this case in 2012. His review confirmed the original prosecutor's decision not to direct for trial.

The question of training of those prosecutors involved in cases of alleged serious sexual offences was addressed in detail by an inspection report on the SPA by Her Majesty's Crown Prosecution Inspectorate in 2010. They endorsed the quality of decision-making by prosecutors, but recommended that ‘the SPA should identify prosecutors with the appropriate skills and experience to become rape specialists and ensure that their training is targeted to developing this specialist expertise including attendance on an appropriate course’.

Since 2010 the SPA has sent 16 officers on CPS held RASSO courses and currently employs 10 RASSO trained officers. In order to ensure that the SPA complies with best practice in the civilian domain, it is SPA policy that only suitably trained and experienced prosecutors conduct rape and sexual assault prosecutions.

I hope this answers your question.

Armed Forces: Training

Mrs Moon: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many personnel of each rank in each branch of the armed forces have undertaken equality and diversity training in each year since 2008; what the agreed period for refresher training is; how many such personnel have yet to undergo (a) initial and (b) refresher training; and if he will make a statement. [192884]

Anna Soubry: The Ministry of Defence regards compliance with all equality and diversity (E&D) legislation as important and to that end mandates that all new service entrants receive equality and diversity training during their basic training. Refresher training intervals vary according to service. Every member of the Army is mandated to complete E&D awareness training on an annual basis. Navy personnel are required to complete refresher training every two years and for RAF personnel the interval is three years.

Armed Forces: Vehicles

Mrs Moon: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many vehicles have returned from (a) Afghanistan and (b) Germany in 2013 and 2014 to date; where each vehicle is currently located; how many vehicles will return by the end of 2014; what spare capacity is to locate vehicles on each Defence Infrastructure Organisation site; and if he will make a statement. [193096]

Mr Dunne: There have been 875 vehicles returned from Afghanistan in 2013 and 2014 to date. 750 of these are located at the Operation HERRICK exchange points in Warminster and Lyneham, 50 have been reissued to front-line commands and 75 have been issued to contractors for recuperation. It is planned that 1,490 vehicles will be returned to the UK by the end of 2014.

There were 10 vehicles returned from Germany to the UK for planned repair in 2013; none has been returned in 2014.

There are a number of specific sites for vehicle storage. Spare capacity of around 35% currently exists across these sites.

27 Mar 2014 : Column 318W

Conflict Resolution: Females

Bridget Phillipson: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to the answer of 16 March 2014, Official Report, columns 218-9W, on conflict resolution: females, on what date he or his officials met counterparts from (a) the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, (b) the Department for International Development and (c) non-governmental organisations to discuss UNSCR1325. [192505]

Mr Francois: Ministry of Defence (MOD) officials meet their counterparts in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Department for International Development and non-governmental organisations on a regular basis to discuss UNSCR 1325 as well as conducting regular exchanges by email and telephone. In the last month for example, MOD officials met FCO, DFID and non-governmental organisations on 24 February, 5 March and 20 March; FCO officials on 18 March; DFID officials on 19 March and representatives from non-governmental organisations on 13 March.

The frequency of meetings is likely to increase as we approach the launch date of the UK National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security in June 2014.

Defence Animal Centre

Mr Kevan Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what capital investment there has been in the Defence Animal Centre in Melton Mowbray in each year since 2010. [193059]

Anna Soubry: The Ministry of Defence holds records from the 2010-11 financial year onwards.

Capital costs in respective years are as follows:

Mr Kevan Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the annual running cost of the Defence Animal Centre in Melton Mowbray was in each year since 2010. [193062]

Anna Soubry: The annual running costs of the Defence Animal Centre for each year since 2010 are shown in the following table:

Defence Infrastructure Organisation

Mrs Moon: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many visits have been made by a Minister in his Department to individual Defence Infrastructure Organisation sites in each year since 2010; and if he will make a statement. [193097]

27 Mar 2014 : Column 319W

Dr Murrison: The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) is responsible for Ministry of Defence sites. Defence Ministers regularly visit them. Since 2010, two Ministers have visited the DIO, Sutton Coldfield.

Mrs Moon: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether any statutory conservation status has been assigned to any Defence Infrastructure Organisation site; what the nature is of each such status; and if he will make a statement. [193100]

Dr Murrison: The Defence Infrastructure Organisation owns 150 sites with statutory conservation status.

The document containing the nature of each status has been placed in the Library of the House.

DSG Ashchurch

Mrs Moon: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether a value for money survey of Defence Infrastructure Organisation Ashchurch has commenced; when such a survey will conclude; how many people are allocated to work on the survey; and if he will make a statement. [193098]

Dr Murrison: A Defence Infrastructure Organisation-led (DIO) Assessment Study to look at the options for reproviding the facilities at Ashchurch will commence in April 2014, The Study programme is still being confirmed.

There are currently 13 personnel from DIO, Army Command and Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) involved in the work. Once the Assessment Study is under way there will be more than 20 staff in total, including additional DIO staff, contractors and various site-based personnel. Not all of the staff will be working full time.

Electric Vehicles

Bridget Phillipson: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to the answer of 12 March 2014, Official Report, column 219W, on electric vehicles, if he will place in the Library entries from the defence contracts bulletin relating to the installation of charge points at RMA Sandhurst, RAF Northolt and RAF Halton and the installation of 13 points at DSTL sites in Wiltshire, Hampshire and Kent. [192986]

Mr Dunne: There are no entries in the Defence Contracts Bulletin (DCB) relating to the installation of charge points for electric vehicles at these sites.

The work for the installation of charge points at RMA Sandhurst and RAF Northolt was not advertised in the DCB because it was a single source contract (having sought a number of competitive quotes to ensure value for money) placed by a facilities management partner of the Defence Infrastructure Organisation. Potential work at RAF Halton will not be taken forward at this stage. Installation of charge points at DSTL sites will not appear in the DCB because it will be completed by their facilities management partner.

27 Mar 2014 : Column 320W

Joint Strike Fighter Aircraft

Thomas Docherty: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many F-35s the UK is contractually obliged to purchase. [193514]

Mr Dunne: At this stage of the Joint Strike Fighter programme, aircraft are being procured via a rolling programme of annual contracts which confirm customer requirements two years ahead of purchase. At this time the UK has accepted three F-35B aircraft and confirmed its order for a fourth, which is scheduled for delivery in 2015. We will make further announcements on new contractual commitments in due course.

Thomas Docherty: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many F-35s his Department plans to purchase under its Joint Equipment Programme. [193515]

Mr Dunne: The overall number of F-35 Joint Strike Fighter aircraft to be purchased, as part of the UK's overall combat air capability, will not be determined before the next Strategic Defence and Security Review in 2015 at the earliest.

Marchwood Military Port

Dr Julian Lewis: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether the military port function of the Sea Mounting Centre at Marchwood will continue to be operated in that location after the awarding of a lease to a commercial organisation for the development of part of that site; and if he will make a statement. [193440]

Mr Dunne: The Ministry of Defence will continue to use Marchwood for sea-mounting after the planned award of the concession. The concession will be structured to ensure that military outputs can still be met from Marchwood, while enabling greater economic and commercial benefit to be realised from the site.

Military Aircraft

Sir Gerald Howarth: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to the answer of 4 February 2014, Official Report, column 171W, on military aircraft, how many Aircrew Moving Map Wire Alerting System units have now been released to service; on what dates such units were released to service; and when he expects further such units to be released to service. [193192]

Mr Dunne: All units required under the contract have now been delivered to the Ministry of Defence with the first equipment being released to service for use on the Puma HC2 on 11 March 2014. The Release to Service Recommendations (RTSR) to support the use of the equipment on Lynx Mk7 was submitted on 13 March 2014 and release to service will follow approval of these recommendations. The evidence to support the RTSR for the remaining fleets are being prepared and will be submitted by the summer once aircraft type specific trials and checks are completed.

27 Mar 2014 : Column 321W

MOD St Athan

Mrs Moon: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the cost was of the provision of functional skills training for MOD St Athan by Bridgend College in each year since 2008; what the projected costs of the provision of functional skills training by a private contractor in future years; whether an assessment of the business case for the transfer of that training to a contracted provider was carried out prior to the decision to make that transfer; and if he will make a statement. [191784]

Anna Soubry: I will write to the hon. Member shortly.

Substantive answer from Anna Soubry to Mrs Moon:

In my answer of 20 March 2014, Official Report, column 703W, I undertook to write to you in response to your question regarding the cost of the provision of functional skills training to the Ministry of Defence (MOD) by Bridgend College.

There was no cost to the MOD for the provision of such training. Payment for functional skills training is drawn down by the provider from the Skills Funding Agency. Training provided by existing or future contractors will be funded in the same manner. The decision to move the provision of functional skills training from an informal system of “outside providers” to a more formal contractual footing was based on legal and commercial advice, and in no way reflects on the quality of training provided by Bridgend College.

RAF Hullavington

Alison Seabeck: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what discussions he has had with DIO and English Heritage about the redevelopment of RAF Hullavington. [192996]

Mr Francois: The Secretary of State for Defence has not had any discussion with either the Defence Infrastructure Organisation or English Heritage about the redevelopment of RAF Hullavington.

Red Arrows

Mr Kevan Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the running costs of the Red Arrows were in each year since 2010. [190913]

Dr Murrison: The available figures for the running costs of the Red Arrows for the last two financial years (FY) are as follows:

These figures include all operating costs, but exclude asset depreciation and the capital cost of aircraft or buildings.

Ministry of Defence officials are collating the information requested for FY 2010-11 and I will write to the hon. Member when this work is complete.

Substantive answer from Andrew Murrison to Kevan Jones:

I undertook to write to you in answer to your Parliamentary Question of 13 March 2014 (Official Report; column 325W) about the running costs of the Red Arrows. I can now confirm that the running costs for Financial Year 2010-11 were £9.73 million.

This figure includes all operating costs, but excludes asset depreciation and the capital cost of aircraft or buildings.

27 Mar 2014 : Column 322W

Territorial Army

Mrs Moon: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many members of the Territorial Army were subjected to summary hearings in each year since 2008; how many such people were imprisoned; what the average number of days imprisonment served was; and if he will make a statement. [193105]

Anna Soubry: The numbers of Army Reserve personnel subjected to summary hearings in each year since 2008 are shown in the following table:

Numbers have been rounded in line with Defence Statistics rounding policy and may not therefore represent the sum of their parts.

The summary hearing procedure is not authorised to dispense a sentence of imprisonment but may authorise the detention of an individual for up to 30 days.

Four of these hearings resulted in punishments of detention and the average number of days served was 14.

Tornado Aircraft

Angus Robertson: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what criteria were applied when evaluating the suitability of the automatic wing sweep for installation on the Tornado F3. [190343]

Mr Dunne: I will write to the hon. Member shortly.

Substantive answer from Philip Dunne to Angus Robertson:

I undertook to write to you in answer to your Parliamentary Question on 10th March 2014 (Official Report, column 33W) about the automatic wing sweep system of the Tornado F3 aircraft.

During the development of the Tornado aircraft Air Defence Variant (ADV) in the early 1980s a requirement was identified for the aircraft variable wing sweep function to be automated. The requirement was intended to reduce pilot workload, optimise aircraft performance and improve fuel duration.

The criteria applied to evaluate the suitability of an automatic wing sweep system were that installation of the new equipment should be as simple as possible, i.e. a ‘bolt on’ addition; that reversion to manual control should be possible in the event of a failure of the automatic system, and that no existing aircraft system should be changed.

The automatic wing sweep system was embodied under a number of aircraft modifications during early Tornado ADV manufacture, which included manufacture of the Tornado F3.

Unmanned Air Vehicles

Mr Watson: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence pursuant to the answer of 17 March 2014, Official Report, column 504W, on unmanned air vehicles, (1) in relation to training what the type of training of UK UAS operators carried out in each country was; and what the cost of such training was; [R] [193034]

27 Mar 2014 : Column 323W

(2) in relation to training what identified the period during which the training of UK UAS operators took place in each host country; where such training took place; and which unmanned systems were used. [R] [193064]

Mr Francois: The details of the location, purpose and type of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) training by country and UAS flown are as follows:

Mission specific training was conducted in preparation for deployment to Afghanistan. Higher formation training was in support of training for contingency operations. Individual training is also conducted to ensure pilots and commanders are current and competent with the systems to avoid skill fade, and this mainly is carried out in the UK and USA. The cost of the UAS element of training is not centrally held and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

The list of countries also includes Germany. This corrects the answer I gave on 17 March 2014, Official Report, column 504W.

Church Commissioners

Bishops: Females

Charlie Elphicke: To ask the right hon. Member for Banbury, representing the Church Commissioners, what estimate he has made of when it will be possible for women to be bishops in the Church of England. [903288]

Sir Tony Baldry: 20 of the 44 dioceses of the Church of England have currently voted in favour of the new measure to enable women to become bishops. The majority of the dioceses will have voted by 22 May with the exception of the Diocese of Europe which will

27 Mar 2014 : Column 324W

enable the measure to be considered at the July meeting of the General Synod in York.

The General Synod will need to obtain a two thirds majority in each of the three Houses of the Synod for this measure to pass. If General Synod pass the necessary measure in July it would be possible to complete the passage of the measure in time for the canon to be promulged and the first woman to be eligible for nomination before the end of this year.

Electoral Commission Committee

Electoral Register

Chris Ruane: To ask the hon. Member for South West Devon, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission, which local authority (a) augmented and (b) did not augment Department for Work and Pensions data matching with the electoral register with local authority data matching. [191356]

Mr Streeter: The Electoral Commission informs me that 137 local authorities provided data to them on their local data matching activities following the trial of matching with the DWP in 2013. The following list shows these local authorities. Those that did not provide data may still have carried out local data matching work.
