§ Mr. MullinTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what steps the Territorial Army proposes to take following the conviction of Warrant Officer Nigel John Hicks for stealing ammunition.
§ Mr. NeubertIt must first be said that Mr. Hicks was not, in fact, convicted of theft of ammunition. Within the Territorial Army, strict regulations apply to the issue, use and storage of weapons and ammunition. The circumstances relating to Mr. Hicks' case are now being reviewed to see if any further action is required.
