Asked by: Rob Butler (Conservative - Aylesbury)
Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to support the armed forces in Scotland.
Answered by Alister Jack - Secretary of State for Scotland
Our armed forces in Scotland play a vital role in defending the whole of the UK.
Most recently, I was delighted to see £83m of UK Government investment awarded to RAF Lossiemouth to build a new facility ready for the UK E-7 Wedgetail fleet. This award - and the creation of 125 jobs - is another great example of how UK defence investment is supporting our armed forces in Scotland.
