Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the requirement for hardened aircraft shelters at RAF Akrotiri.

We remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of security to safeguard our national defence capabilities. Whilst hardened aircraft shelters may form part of future infrastructure considerations, options to improve aircraft survivability and operational resilience are still being explored and assessed against factors including the threat, operating concept, deliverability, timescales and cost.
