Written Question
Israel: RAF Akrotiri
Tuesday 19th March 2024

Asked by: Baroness Janke (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have instructed Israel not to land its F-35s at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus until hostilities in Gaza have concluded.

Answered by Earl of Minto - Shadow Minister (Defence)

No instruction has been provided because there are no standing agreements in place to use RAF Akrotiri. Permission for state-operated aircraft to utilise UK air bases is dependent on the nature and purpose of their activity, and each request is considered on a case by case basis.
