§ Mr. IngramI refer the hon. Member to my statement in the House on 24 May 2004,Official Report, columns 1306–19.
We are increasing the level of assurance that we have in the way in which the armed forces train, and in managing the risks to which our young recruits are exposed. As a positive and substantive response to the concerns expressed by the Surrey police, we are expanding our relationship with the Adult Learning Inspectorate to provide independent oversight of all armed forces training. Any recommendations they may make and our responses to them will be exposed fully to public scrutiny.
