Mr. McNamara

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what steps were taken to(a) address and (b) redress complaints of Masai women following the meeting on 19 October 1983 between representatives of the women with the officer commanding troops involved in reconstruction of the Dol Dol primary school in Kenya; how many incidents are alleged to have been committed by members of Her Majesty's armed forces; how many admissions of responsibility or apology have been sent; how many disciplinary actions have been taken against serving soldiers; and how many have been dismissed from the Army.

Mr. Ingram

A document relating to the meeting purportedly held on 19 October 1983 has recently been disclosed to the Department and is currently under consideration. However, no formal claims or legal proceedings have been served on the Ministry of Defence in respect of alleged assaults on Masai women in Kenya by British soldiers.
