Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will halt his Department's plans for (a) rebasing and (b) closure of bases in response to the invasion of Ukraine.

The Ministry of Defence remains committed to its estate optimisation plans to invest in key defence sites, and to the disposal of surplus sites where there is no further military requirement for their use. These are long-term plans that will be delivered over 25 years.
