Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will publish the names of all the investigators who have been recruited to investigate alleged abuses by soldiers and former soldiers whilst serving in Afghanistan and Iraq.

It is our policy that the names of individuals below Senior Civil Service level are withheld under section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act. All investigators who have been recruited to investigate alleged abuses by soldiers and former soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq are below this level.
