Armed Forces: Accidents

Question for Ministry of Defence

UIN 16238, tabled on 26 November 2024

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential (a) causes and (b) consequences of the recent road traffic incident in Estonia involving British armed forces personnel.

Answered on

29 November 2024

The safety and welfare of our personnel is of the utmost importance. An Estonian investigation is underway and it would be inappropriate to comment whilst inquiries are ongoing. In addition, as with all incidents of this nature, an internal review is being conducted in-theatre about further preventative measures to ensure the safety of our deployed personnel.

My thoughts are with all those affected, and I wish those injured a full, swift recovery.
