HC Deb 05 December 2002 vol 395 c928W
Mr. Keetch

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what percentage of UK military bases have an independent legal officer on site; and if he will make a statement. [85367]

Dr. Moonie

Independent legal officers are not provided on military sites. Personnel may make use of a range of welfare and support services separate from the chain of command or they may raise complaints, to the Defence Council if necessary. They may also obtain legal advice privately if they wish.
