Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will list the items stolen from his Department's sites with a value over £500 in the last 12 months.

The Ministry of Defence works hard to detect and deter theft and there are robust processes in place to raise awareness of the need for vigilance in all aspects of security. A Confidential Hotline is the central reporting point for all fraud, theft, suspected theft and financial irregularity. The information requested concerning stolen items over £500, will take time to collate and I will write to the hon. Member.
