The four recruits' families do not believe they committed suicide

Geoff Gray, James Collinson, Cheryl James and Sean Benton died from gunshot wounds at the base between 1995 and 2002.

The inquiry follows a report from Surrey Police highlighting shortcomings in the Army's approach to training.

It was sparked by families of the dead soldiers, unhappy with explanations of how the young recruits died.

The initial investigations came to the conclusion that all had committed suicide.

Among the police recommendations were calls for the Army to consider a "broader investigation" of training.

The House of Commons Defence Committee is now planning the wide-ranging review of the circumstances surrounding the case.

However, the families of the soldiers who died say their demands for a public inquiry are being ignored.

Armed Services Minister Adam Ingram admitted the report "makes uncomfortable reading for the Ministry of Defence" but ruled out a public inquiry.

He said: "This was a very intensive police investigation with 900 people interviewed and 1,500 statements taken.

"I really don't know what a further public inquiry would elicit."

Surrey Police revealed the findings of their fifth and final report surrounding the soldiers' deaths on Thursday.

Last year the police said they could not find any evidence to suggest the four were murdered.

Surrey's Chief Constable Denis O'Connor called for an "independent system of oversight" to look at the training of young recruits.

Mr O'Connor said: "Surrey Police remains concerned that more needs to be done to address areas of risk and strengthen the care for young soldiers in training.

"This is most likely to be achieved through new arrangements for accountability and independent oversight."

Geoff Gray, 17, from Durham, Sean Benton, 20, from Hastings, James Collinson, 17, from Perth and Cheryl James, 18, from Llangollen, north Wales, died from gunshot wounds at the Royal Logistics Corps HQ in Deepcut, Surrey, between 1995 and 2002.

The father of Geoff Gray - also called Geoff - told BBC News 24: "I was told some eight hours after Geoff died that he had committed suicide.

"We then find out he'd been shot twice in the head with an SA80 rifle and vital evidence has been destroyed.

"I welcome the investigation by the Defence Committee, but I don't think it's the right way to do it.

"I think we should have a full public inquiry or a Royal Commission."

Gunshot wounds

The Army, which has conducted its own highly-critical examination of the training regime, says it is already making changes such as improving sometimes shabby facilities, tightening regulations on the use of firearms, and increasing the number of staff involved in training.

It says that recruits with problems now have a much better idea of where they need to go for help.

An Army investigation found all the soldiers had either committed suicide or died by accidentally discharging their rifles.

In September 2003, Surrey Police said they had concluded there were no grounds for a criminal prosecution over the deaths.

But they also found there were failings in the way the Army deals with vulnerable recruits and the way the Army and police investigate the deaths of soldiers.
