(2) how many armed forces personnel are trained to operate TALON bomb disposal robots.
Explosive ordnance disposal officers are highly skilled and specialised members of the armed forces and are employed operationally both in the United Kingdom and overseas. I am withholding the information on the numbers of personnel and those trained to operate TALON bomb disposal robots as its disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the armed forces.
