Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to ensure there are adequate catering and food arrangements for armed forces personnel deployed at very short notice to assist with covid-19 testing and other covid-19 projects.

Catering contracts have been established to support personnel deployed on COVID-19 tasks, to provide them with a balanced diet in line with the Joint Service Publication 456 (MOD policy). We ensure food options and menus are routinely monitored and scrutinised by military Food Service Warrant Officers to guarantee the highest standard of food is being delivered to our Armed Forces.
