May I welcome the statement and endorse the Government’s emphasis on prevention rather than cure, which is surely the right approach? The Secretary of State will be aware of a great deal of speculation about a renewed aerial threat from Argentina in the light of Russian involvement, as referred to...

May I thank the Secretary of State for his statement, the logic of which is straightforward? Having spoken socially to some of those who will deploy this October, I think it was widely anticipated that they would serve longer. Perhaps they were warned off, to use the Secretary of State’s...

I strongly support the Defence Secretary’s announcement today, which I believe to be well judged in every particular. I welcome the fact that other countries in the EU recognise the threat to all of our security that would be represented by ungoverned space in that part of the world, and...

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list all the operations on which UK forces have served alongside the forces of other European nations in the last five years; and which countries participated in each case.
[120731]
The Ministry of Defence does not hold centrally information regarding which European nations have been deployed on operations alongside UK forces in the past five years. My officials will engage with EU and NATO to collate the necessary information and I will write to the hon. Member once the information has been collated.
Substantive answer from Andrew Robathan to Sir Nick Harvey:
In my answer to your Parliamentary Question dated 12 September 2012 (Official Report, column 454W) requesting to be provided with a list of all operations on which UK forces have served alongside other European nations in the last five years and which countries participated in each individual operation, I undertook to write to you to provide a fuller answer.
After further research, it has transpired that it would be of disproportionate cost to provide a comprehensive response to your request. However, provided below is a list of UN, EU and NATO operations and missions over the last 5 years in which the UK has deployed military or civilian staff.

Efforts to collate further information from partner nations and international organisations (including NATO and the EU) would require significant commitment and staff time and therefore would incur disproportionate cost. Should you have any specific questions about a particular mission I would be happy to ask my officials to provide further details. Furthermore, I would be delighted to host you in the Department to answer any questions that you may have regarding UK missions and European partners.

Has he, like me, detected great enthusiasm on the part of our reserve forces for this new and ambitious programme, a determination...

The normal package of allowances will be payable to recognise living conditions and separation, the most significant of which is Longer Separation Allowance, ranging between around £7 and £28 per day, depending on total length of separated service. Those entitled to claim this will continue to do so.
The costs of this additional deployment are currently being scoped—the House will be informed in due course.
No members of the armed forces have had their post-operational tour leave cancelled. As the Secretary of State for Defence, the right hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) confirmed to the House on 12 July 2012, Official Report, columns 1085-88, we will ensure that all those taking part receive their full leave entitlement, even if it has to be rescheduled.
The costs of bus hire for the transportation of service personnel providing security is currently being scoped in light of the additional deployment of military personnel, and is not yet available.
Military personnel supporting venue security operations will conduct a number of roles including vehicle screening, pedestrian screening and perimeter security tasks. The following units will be on standby for this task:
The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders (5th Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland)
3rd Battalion The Parachute Regiment
7th Regiment Royal Horse Artillery
13 Air Assault Support Regiment
23 Royal Regiment Engineers
Composite Units to include: 13 Medical Regiment, 216 Signals Squadron and 156 Provost Company RMP

There will be no impact on operational output, including tours of duty and handovers, by this deployment.
G4S indicated to the Government in the last week of June 2012 that they were experiencing specific problems with their scheduling system. At that point we started making contingency plans involving the use of 3,500 troops above and beyond those whom we had already planned to use. On 11 July 2012 G4S told the Government they could no longer provide the number of security personnel to which they were contractually committed and the Secretary of State for Defence, the right hon. Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), the Secretary of State for the Home Department, the right hon. Member for Maidenhead (Mrs May) and the Secretary of State for Culture, Olympics, Media and Sport, the right hon. Member for South West Surrey (Mr Hunt) took the decision to commit extra troops.
In addition to minibuses and cars operated by individual units, 52 Army-owned civilian coaches will be used.
Surplus bed-spaces in the existing accommodation plan for military support to the Olympics will be used where possible for these personnel. These include spaces within existing barracks, Territorial Army centres, other areas on the Defence estate, and in temporary accommodation at Hainault Park. Commercial properties near the Olympic venues suitable for temporary accommodation have been identified, and contracts and relevant permissions are being sought. All costs will be recovered from across government via the Olympic security budget, G4S and LOCOG. MOD will not incur extra costs as a result.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence with reference to the strategic defence and security review, on what timescale troops will be withdrawn from Germany.
[116941]
As part of the strategic defence and security review we announced our intention to return personnel based in Germany back to the UK by 2020.
Following the announcement of Army 2020, the Army will now begin to work with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation to determine the optimum basing solution for the Army while making best use of the existing Defence estate. It is too early at this stage to give any more detail on the precise time scales for the withdrawal of troops from Germany.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what recent progress has been made on the security transition in Afghanistan.
[116911]
Transition of security to Afghan control, as agreed at the Lisbon conference in 2010, is on track and achievable by the end of 2014. In May the Afghan Government announced the third tranche of districts and provinces that will enter the process. This will see the Afghans take the lead for security in areas home to 75% of the population.
By mid-2013, all parts of Afghanistan will have begun transition and the Afghan forces will be in the lead for security nationwide. This will mark an important milestone in the Lisbon road map. The progress of security transition is allowing ISAF gradually and responsibly to draw down its forces to complete its mission by 31 December 2014.

There is no memorandum of understanding between the Ministry of Defence and the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on resourcing and deployment of the Army bomb disposal team in Northern Ireland.
