HC Deb 22 January 1981 vol 997 c228W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will give the number of arrests and searches made by the Ministry of Defence police in each of the last 10 years, indicating, in each case, the reason for the arrest, search and the result of court proceedings.

Mr. Goodhart

Detailed records of the individual cases dealt with by the Ministry of Defence police are not held centrally, or in a form which would allow the statistics and information sought to be extracted without excessive effort and expense.
