We recognise the debt and gratitude owed to all the Service personnel, and their families, who serve or have served in the Armed Forces. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) community has long performed a particularly challenging and courageous role, including in Northern Ireland during the period 1969-2007.
Honours and decorations have rightly been bestowed on the EOD community in recognition of their selfless courage and commitment in Northern Ireland and elsewhere. In June 2016 the EOD Memorial at the National Arboretum was dedicated to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

In respect of UK land Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) operations, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has a very close relationship with industry when discussing Countering Explosive Ordnance. Within the last 18 months, the MOD has worked closely with industry to help create 'Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED) UK', a body that represents the whole of UK C-IED industry. The MOD sits on the Executive Committee of that body and ensures that industry understands UK MOD requirements in significant detail.
At present the MOD does not have a requirement to outsource UK maritime EOD tasks to commercial companies, therefore no approach has been made to industry.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps the Government is taking to ensure UK waters are clear of unexploded ordnance.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps the Government is taking to ensure UK waters are clear of unexploded ordnance.
The Ministry of Defence (in conjunction with the Department for Transport) conducts a programme of routinely surveying the Country's strategic waterways to ensure both port security and safety from ordnance.
There are well established maritime procedures to ensure any hazards and associated activities are promulgated to shipping and, where necessary, exclusion zones established and enforced. This ensures that when ordnance is occasionally discovered under water or below the high water mark, it remains undisturbed until rendered safe by a Royal Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit.
