Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many instances of trespassing on his Department's property have been reported in the last year.
The Ministry of Defence takes the security of our sites extremely seriously and we have robust measures in place to assure the integrity of these arrangements. For the period 1 December 2022 to 30 November 2023, we had 107 reported cases of unauthorised access.
To put this into context the Ministry of Defence has over 1000 sites in the UK. This figure includes incidents at sites which are publicly accessible, disused, or not deemed as sensitive sites.
