Ministry of Defence Police and Guarding Agency: RAF Welford

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence whether he expects Ministry of Defence Police Agency staff to be withdrawn from RAF Welford; and which organisation will assume responsibility for its security thereafter.
Answer

The MOD police will not be withdrawn from RAF Welford until I am satisfied that other security measures at the base are suitable and appropriate, and do not compromise the overall security of the site. The security duties will then pass to the MOD Guard Service, whose complement will be increased.Overall responsibility for the security of the site will continue to be exercised by the Head of Establishment.
