HC Deb 29 October 1987 vol 121 cc402-3W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Defence on how many occasions in the past five years individuals have been apprehended in possession of a false Ministry of Defence police warrant card.

Mr. Sainsbury

Only one instance, the recent Larsen case, has come to the notice of the Ministry of Defence police. We know of no instance where the use of a false MOD police warrant card has been used in the commission of a crime, or to attempt to gain unauthorised access to MOD property.

Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Defence how many incidents have been recorded in the last five years of individuals entering defence establishments wearing military uniforms to which they were not entitled.

Mr. Sainsbury

No central records are held of individuals entering or attempting to enter defence establishments in these circumstances and it would require a disproportionate effort to collect them.
