[holding answer 16 July 2012]: The information on the number of army personnel due to be on leave in July and August 2012, and the information on the number of personnel who have been asked to shorten their leave is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

No members of the armed forces have had their post-operational tour leave cancelled. As the Secretary of State for Defence, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), confirmed in his written statement on 12 July 2012, Official Report, columns 42-43WS, we will ensure that all those taking part receive their full leave entitlement, even if it has to be rescheduled.

Personnel from all three armed forces are contributing to providing safety and security for the Olympics. We have planned for 13,500 personnel for some time to provide a range of support. A number of additional units were also warned earlier this year that they may be required for Olympic duties and their notice to move could be subject to change. Notice to move has been brought forward in most cases by between five to nine days.

The basic pay for all members of the armed forces does not change whether on duty or on leave. The normal package of allowances will be payable to personnel to recognise living conditions and separation, the most significant of which is longer separation allowance.

Personnel remain free to see their families on days off. We are currently looking at what measures can be taken to recognise their efforts.

All those personnel deployed for Olympics duties will be suitably trained for the tasks they are required to do. Tasks will principally include pedestrian and vehicle screening, and perimeter security.
