Claire Perry Welcomes Delegation from the Royal Military Police to Parliament

On Wednesday June 16th our MP, Claire Perry, welcomed over 20 members of the Royal Military Police to the Houses of Parliament.  “It is always a privilege to welcome members of the Armed Forces, past or present, to Parliament” said Claire.  Claire and her staff took the members for a tour around the Houses of Parliament where they had tickets to the gallery to watch a debate on industry.  This was followed by a reception on the House of Commons’ terrace overlooking the Thames.  Over tea and cake Claire was able to discuss the issues affecting those who serve in the Armed Forces and their families.

The Royal Military Police (RMP) are responsible for the policing of the military community round the world and serve as the Army’s specialists in Investigations and Policing.  They consist of over 1800 personnel, both Regular and Territorial, who deploy as part of the field army at home and overseas.

From 1992 onwards the RMP have been part of the Adjutant General’s Corps as part of the Provost Branch.  Part of 3 RMP is currently garrisoned at Bulford in the Devizes constituency.
