Sir Mike Penning

Secrecy

In 2015 Mike Penning claimed that files relating to the investigation and conviction of the Shrewsbury 24 would not be released, on the grounds of "national security".[1]

Statements

"Britain's military must stop being used as a 'cash cow' for overseas aid missions, the ex-Armed Forces minister says today. Sir Mike Penning warns operations such as the Royal Navy's task of rescuing migrants in the Mediterranean are 'draining military capabilities'."[2]
