HC Deb 02 November 1992 vol 213 cc52-3W
Mr. Martlew

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on alleged incidents of ill-treatment of Army recruits at Whittington barracks and Sennybridge training camp.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The commanding officer initiated an investigation by the special investigations branch of the Royal Military police as soon as the allegations came to light. Its report has now been submitted to the commanding officer. I would not wish to prejudice the outcome of any disciplinary action which might be taken by commenting further at this stage.
