HC Deb 20 July 1999 vol 335 c474W
Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many British military personnel stationed in Cyprus have been charged with drug offences in each of the last three years. [90821]

Mr. Doug Henderson

No British military personnel stationed in Cyprus have been charged with drug-related offences during the last three years. However, seven Service personnel were administratively discharged in 1997, having failed a compulsory Drug Test (CDT). Since then there have been no CDT failures. Nearly 6,000 people have been tested over the three year period.
