Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his department has made of the potential security implications for UK residents after allowing United States forces to use RAF Fairford and Diego Garcia for strikes on Iranian missile sites.

The Department continually assesses a wide range of potential threats to the UK, including hostile activity by state actors. Whilst we do not comment on specific intelligence for security reasons, the UK maintains robust, multi layered defences designed to protect the whole of the UK.
