Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has sought the views of (a) current junior soldiers and (b) former junior soldiers on the disciplinary policy at AFC Harrogate in the last 10 years.
Army disciplinary policy is set out within the Queen’s Regulations and Army General and Administrative Instructions 62 (Discipline Policy) and 67 (Administrative Policy). These are kept under constant review and routinely updated. There is no bespoke discipline policy for Junior Soldiers at Army Foundation College (AFC), Harrogate.
