HC Deb 22 January 1996 vol 270 c80W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the dates of dishonourable discharges from the Army as a result of breaches of military discipline in the period November 1992 until December 1993 together with the units from which they were discharged. [10498]

Mr. Soames

"Dishonourable discharge" is not an expression used by the services. Fifteen personnel were discharged with disgrace from the Army during the period 1 November 1992 to 31 December 1993.

The list of those discharged under this heading is as follows:

Discharged with disgrace
Date
10 November 1992 Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers Manning and Record Office
23 November 1992 7th Signal Regiment
7 December 1992 The Royal Dragoon Guards
13 January 1993 32 Engineer Regiment
11 February 1993 16th Signal Regiment
12 March 1993 Army Medical Services Training Group
20 April 1993 7 Armoured Workshops. REME
4 July 1993 Army Medical Services Training Group
4 August 1993 The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards
26 August 1993 Combined Manning and Record Office
3 September 1993 26 Engineer Regiment
13 September 1993 Support Battalion, Allied Rapid Reaction Corps
20 September 1993 12 Transport Squadron Royal School Military Engineering
30 October 1993 Royal Green Jackets
2 November 1993 Army Training Regiment, Lichfield

The list does not necessarily show the units at which the individuals were serving at the time they committed the disciplinary offences for which they were discharged. In many cases the personnel may have been discharged from holding units or their manning and record to which they were transferred after the disciplinary offence.

The manning and record office accounts for those personnel who are not held on the establishment of a specific unit.
