To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 22 October 2026, to question 34690 on Air Force: Military Bases, whether he has made an assessment of the earliest date that a future requirement for Hardened Aircraft Shelters (HAS) across UK Royal Air Force Bases could be a) funded and b) delivered.
Answered by
Louise Sandher-Jones
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for the Armed Forces)
No assessment has yet been made of the earliest date on which a future requirement for additional Hardened Aircraft Shelters (HAS) could be funded or delivered.
In the meantime, Defence continues to use its existing HAS estate to support current operational requirements. HAS supporting enduring outputs, including Quick Reaction Alert, continue to be maintained through routine activity.
