Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what ministerial visits to sites involved in defence manufacturing there have been since 7 May 2010; and whether the local hon. Member was present at each such visit.
Details of site visits are published regularly in Transparency returns on gov.uk.
In accordance with the Ministerial Code, the Ministry of Defence routinely informs local MPs in advance if a Minister intends to visit their constituency. Details about the attendance of the local hon. Members on individual visits could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
