Ps have renewed calls for the Ministry of Defence (MoD) to move rape cases out of the court martial system as whistleblower evidence revealed ongoing sexual abuse within the armed services.

One servicewoman reported a rape on a base but was told her attacker would remain with his elite unit, according to written submissions provided to the Commons Defence Committee.
