§ Mr. Keith SimpsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence (1) when he intends to publish a revised code of conduct on ethics and discipline for the Royal Air Force; [66746]
(2) when he intends to publish a revised code of conduct on ethics and discipline for the Army; [66747]
(3) when he intends to publish a revised code of conduct on ethics and discipline for the Royal Navy. [66748]
§ Mr. Doug HendersonAs I explained in my previous answer on 14 January 1999,Official Report, column 269, each of the Services has its own procedure for providing information and guidance on matters relating to conduct and discipline within its individual Service environment. The Army and the Royal Air Force are currently revising and updating their current codes of conduct. When this work is complete, I will write the hon. Member and a copy of my letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
There are no immediate plans to publish a revised code of conduct for the Royal Navy.
