With permission, I would like to update the House on Defence’s support to the national Covid response.
As Honourable Members are aware, I committed to updating Parliament on our efforts and the
MOD has been submitting weekly updates on the work to assist our outstanding
NHS and colleagues from across government, as we fight back against this awful virus.
We might not be on the frontline of this particular fight but we are with them ‘in the trenches’ and, since last year, in increasing numbers. In fact, Defence’s contribution to the Covid response now represents the most significant domestic resilient operation in peacetime. And more personnel are committed on UK resilience tasks today than at any time since the pandemic.
Lieutenant (Lt) Theodore ‘Teddy’ Chabo AN Army officer from Brightlingsea who volunteered to step up and help deliver news during the pandemic has been recognised in the New Year Honours list. Lieutenant Theodore ‘Teddy’ Chabo works in the Army’s Educational and Training Services, part of the Adjutant General’s Corps. But when the pandemic hit back in March the education centre where he teaches in Wiltshire was closed. Instead of sitting idly he made contact with his local Army media team and volunteered to assist in any way he could. On his second day he found himself giving media support to troops working on the front line in support of the NHS at the Bristol Nightingale Hospital.
