To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what procedures his Department has put in place for members of the armed services who present with gender identity disorder.
The armed forces do not accept any form of discrimination and have a clear policy for the recruitment and management of personnel with gender identity disorder (transsexuals). This policy was published in 2009 and is available to all military commanders and civilian staff who manage service personnel.
