Army Barracks (Deaths)

: There has been progress, but that does not take away from the need to get an answer on what happened in the past. Every time I and other hon. Members who have been involved in the campaign have pushed the Government, more information has come out. That is one reason why I am concerned that we should not pretend that Mr. Blake's inquiry is an end to the matter. On the same point, Mr. Blake extracted yet more detail about the deaths and the culture at Deepcut than the parents or Surrey police were aware of. He found ““foul abuse of trainees””, and evidence that sex had been used ““as a passport””. Bearing in mind the limited nature of Mr. Blake's investigation, it is possible—indeed, probable—that we still do not know the whole story.
