Mr. Keetch: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) officers and (b) other ranks in each service were
medically downgraded as unfit for front line duties at April 1 in each of the last five years; in how many cases (i) the downgrading
was attributable to service and (ii) the injuries were (A) temporary and (B) permanent; and if he will make a statement. [183346]
Mr. Caplin: [pursuant to the reply, 19 October 2004, Official Report, c. 593W]: I regret that part of the table contained
some inaccuracies. The table details the revised footnote. Information on whether medical downgradings have been attributable to
Service cannot be provided due to disproportionate cost.

Mr. Key: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many military personnel have been (a) killed in action,
(b) injured in action, (c) killed in vehicle accidents, (d) injured in vehicle accidents, (e) killed in
sporting accidents and (f) murdered in each of the past five years; and how many committed suicide in each of those years.
[179484]
Mr. Caplin: In the period 1 January 1999 to 31 December 2003, there were 419 deaths among United Kingdom service
personnel in the categories listed. Of these, 40 were killed in action, 275 died in vehicle accidents, seven died in sporting
accidents, 12 died as a result of assaults and 85 were suicide or open verdict deaths recorded by a coroner (England, Wales and
Northern Ireland) or the Procurator Fiscal (Scotland). In this period, there were a further 30 deaths for which we are waiting a
verdict.
The findings of criminal trials is not routinely collected by the Ministry of Defence, so it is not possible to state how many of
the 12 deaths by assault may have been due to murder.
A breakdown of these deaths by year is provided as follows:

During the period 1 January 1999 to 31 December 2003, 4,876 service personnel have been injured while on duty
involving military vehicles. A breakdown of these injuries by year is provided in table B. Information on service personnel injured
while off duty involving vehicles is not collected by the MOD. Information on injuries sustained in action is not held centrally and

Mr. Dismore: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many claims under the Armed Forces compensation scheme were successful in
each of the last five years; what estimate he has made of the number of likely successful cases per year under the proposed new
scheme; and if he will make a statement. [153877]
Mr. Caplin: The Ministry of Defence provides benefits for death, injury or illness due to service through the War Pensions Scheme
and the Armed Forces Pension Scheme. The number of awards for new claims under the War Pensions Scheme in the last five years is set
out as follows (the figures are taken from Table 2.5 of the recently published March edition of the War Pensions Quarterly
Statistics). This includes awards where a pension was paid and those where only a gratuity was paid:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Number
1998-99 6,810
1999-2000 7,445
2000-01 6,385
2001-02 6,955
2002-03 5,440
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Current Information Technology systems do not enable us to identify the numbers who have also received attributable pensions from
the Armed Forces Pension Scheme. However, the overall figure will be lower as the benefits can only be paid to those who are
medically invalided.
The new Armed Forces Compensation Scheme will provide benefits for currently serving personnel for injury, ill-health or death which
is caused after 5 April 2005. The number of claims is expected to build up gradually over an extended period but to remain
lower than the current level of claims against the War Pensions Scheme. This is because the latter covers periods of conscription,
of worldwide conflict and of much larger than at present armed forces.

Mr. Caplin: Between 1 January 1993 and 31 December 2002 there were 112 Regular Service trainees killed through fatal injuries. It is
not possible to provide individual details for each trainee as this would compromise service personnel confidentiality.

Mr. McNamara: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many (a) suicides and (b) attempted suicides there were in military
prisons in each year since 1990 by (i) members of the armed forces and (ii) members of the armed forces in custody awaiting trial;
and how many serious self mutilations and injuries there were amongst members of the armed forces awaiting custodial sentences over
the same period. [120512]
Mr. Caplin :[holding answer 25 June 2003]: Armed Forces personnel who are found guilty of criminal charges requiring imprisonment
are detained within Her Majesty's Prisons. There are no separate "military prisons". However, detention facilities are available at
guardrooms in units and establishments in the United Kingdom and elsewhere in the world. When it is necessary to hold an individual
in custody pending their trial or sentencing, they are usually held at a local detention facility. An average of around 1,000
personnel per year have been held at the Military Corrective Training Centre (MCTC) in Colchester. The following table gives the
number of attempted suicides, suicides, and incidents of self harm of members of the armed forces either in custody or awaiting a
custodial sentence at the MCTC in Colchester. Information on members of the Armed Forces held in custody elsewhere is not held
centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.

Mr. Caplin: The proposals arising from the reviews of the Armed Forces Pension and Compensation arrangements are currently under
consideration by Ministers. Illnesses or injuries would only fail to be accepted under the new scheme proposals where, on a balance
of probabilities standard of proof, they were considered not to be caused or significantly aggravated by Service. The Department's
decisions on claims would be subject to appeal to an independent tribunal.
