§ The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence (Mr. Adam Ingram)On 17 October (Official Report, column 571) I announced that a special appraisal of the initial training of non-Officer recruits of all three services would take place. This review was to be conducted independent of Service and commands and to report directly to Ministers. The work is nearing completion and I now plan to make findings public in January next year.
Surrey Police continue their investigation into deaths at Deepcut and it would be inappropriate to comment on this area until their inquiry is complete.
