Ministry of Defence: Arms Length Bodies

Thursday 12th March 2026

Asked by: Baroness Falkner of Margravine (Crossbench - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the Ministry of Defence has declined to lay before Parliament a draft statutory code submitted by an arm's-length body between January 2015 and December 2025, where that code has not been subject to litigation.

Answered by Lord Coaker - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

The information is not held by the Ministry of Defence.

No Ministry of Defence arm’s length bodies hold statutory responsibilities that require them to produce statutory codes for laying before Parliament.
