§ Mr. TyrieTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what rationalisation studies affecting the Royal Military Police are taking place in his Department; and when these will report. [18787]
§ Dr. ReidThe Army Training and Recruiting Agency is currently conducting a study into the scope for rationalisation within the Adjutant General's Corps Training Group, which includes the Royal Military Police Training School at Chichester. The study is in two phases. Phase One is examining the feasibility of relocating the RMPTS to another AGC Training Group site or to the MOD Police Training school in Essex, or of leaving it where it is. Phase Two will examine the wider scope for rationalisation within the AGC Training Group as a whole. Phase One is expected to be completed early in the new year, and Phase Two in the spring.
