Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what support his Department has provided to governments of the Overseas Territories to help tackle the covid-19 pandemic.

In support of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), Defence has provided a range of assistance to British Overseas Territories in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes the provision of advisory teams, the transportation of medical supplies and, more recently, logistical support with vaccine delivery to the Falkland Islands, Ascension Island and Gibraltar. Defence continues to work closely with the FCDO in order to respond to any request for support to British Overseas Territories.
