To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many soldiers were injured in Phase 1 and Phase 2 training in each quarter of 2012 and 2013; and how many of those soldiers were using the Pay to Dine system.
The number of injury incidents involving trainee soldiers in Phase 1 and 2 training in 2012 and 2013 is shown in the following table:

The figures for Initial Training Group show Phase 1 recruits only. The totals include any reported injury, irrespective of level of seriousness.
No Phase 1 or Infantry Phase 2 recruits are on the ‘Pay As You Dine’ system. All Phase 1 and 2 recruits are provided with three nutritionally-balanced meals per day. Phase 1 recruits may receive a ‘fourth meal’ supplement during training to provide the additional calorific intake they require during that period.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what reports he has received suggesting that a significant proportion of soldiers injured during training were undernourished as a result of the introduction of the Pay to Dine system.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what reports he has received suggesting that a significant proportion of soldiers injured during training were undernourished as a result of the introduction of the Pay to Dine system.
The Ministry of Defence has no evidence to support the claim that soldiers are undernourished as a result of the Pay As You Dine system. Nutrition is fundamental to military personnel's physical capability. We strive to ensure that our catering, including that provided through Pay As You Dine, delivers the required quality of service, and that healthy food choices are offered to provide the required calorific and nutritional intake for our soldiers. Soldiers undergoing Phase 1 training and those in Infantry Phase 2 training are not on the Pay As You Dine system.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many serving and former service personnel are recorded as having facial scarring as a result of injuries sustained in the performance of their duties.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many serving and former service personnel are recorded as having facial scarring as a result of injuries sustained in the performance of their duties.
The Defence Medical Information Capability Programme (DMICP) is the source of electronic, integrated health care records for Defence Primary Healthcare and some specialist care providers. As at 22 November 2013, there are no service personnel with “facial scarring” entered in their record on the DMICP.
While a search for records of individuals with facial injuries could be undertaken, it would not be possible in every case to tell from the type of injury those which would have left a scar.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many serving and former service personnel are in receipt of a war disablement pension for facial scarring, either solely or alongside other injuries.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many serving and former service personnel are in receipt of a war disablement pension for facial scarring, either solely or alongside other injuries.
As at 31 March 2013 (the latest date for which War Pensions Scheme statistics are available) a minimum of 590 ex-service personnel were in receipt of an ongoing War Pension for facial scarring, burns or lacerations. No specific diagnostic code exists for facial scarring therefore a search of the free-text condition field was carried out to compile the figures. Due to the nature of free-text information it is possible that some records have not been identified and the figure of 590 should be interpreted as the minimum.
Between 6 April 2005 (the start of the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS)) and 31 March 2013 (the latest date for which information is available) 240 serving/ex-serving personnel were awarded compensation under the AFCS for facial scarring, burns or lacerations. As at 1 November 2013 (the date of the latest armed forces personnel file) 135 of these individuals were still serving and 105 had left the services.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many soldiers aged under 18, both in training and in the trained strength, have (a) been hospitalised for injuries and (b) died in the last three years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many soldiers aged under 18, both in training and in the trained strength, have (a) been hospitalised for injuries and (b) died in the last three years.
While the Ministry of Defence does not necessarily hold data for all hospital admissions, we are aware that between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2012, 22 soldiers under the age of 18 have been admitted to hospital. Nine of these were admitted on an in-patient basis. It has not been possible to identify whether the remaining 13 were for an in-patient or out-patient appointment.
In the same period, three soldiers aged under 18 have died. This figure covers all causes of death: hostile action, accidents, natural causes, assaults, coroner confirmed suicides or open verdicts and cause not yet known.

DCMS takes player safety seriously in all sports. It is a matter for National Governing Bodies, as the designated authorities with responsibility to regulate their sport, and I would expect each NGB to make player safety their highest priority. The Sport England NGB Whole Sport Plan Standard Terms and Conditions in respect of statutory compliance include all relevant health and safety laws.
