Written Question

Infrastructure: Seas and Oceans

Monday 19th May 2025

Asked by: Chris McDonald (Labour - Stockton North)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to protect critical undersea infrastructure.

Answered by Luke Pollard - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence)

Cables and pipelines are as vital for our economy as factories and power stations.

This Government is increasing defence spending to keep Britain safe at home and secure abroad. And that includes investing in RFA Proteus to protect our undersea cables.
