Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Joan Walley (Labour). It was answered by Mark Francois (Conservative) on Monday, 12 May 2014 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Visits by MPs to Armed Forces Serving Abroad
- Question
-
What his policy is on hon. Members visiting armed forces serving abroad.
- Answer
-
All visit requests from hon. and right hon. Members are considered on a case-by-case basis and accommodated if possible. If an hon. Member wishes to visit our armed forces serving at home or abroad, they should write to my right hon. Friend the Defence Secretary giving the purpose of the proposed visit. However, it has been the long-standing policy of the Ministry of Defence, including under the previous Administration, that visits by individual MPs are normally undertaken at their own expense.
