JSP 815
Annex A to JSP 815 states (in the first line):
1. As Secretary of State I am responsible for all safety, environmental and sustainable development matters within Defence.
While I agree with the H-C report in its entirety, this particular element points firmly at the Government. Heads of other organisations for which there have been failings have done the honourable thing and resigned, taking full responsibility for organisation failings. This statement however is beyond complict in this post. Should the current or former SoS equally be called to account???
