Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether armed forces personnel have been deployed in response to extreme heat.
As of 19 July 2022, the Ministry of Defence has neither received requests for, nor undertaken, any Military Aid to the Civil Authorities (MACA) tasks in response to the extreme heatwave currently affecting the UK. Defence has an appropriately comprehensive network of liaison officers in Government departments, and across all regions of the UK, to facilitate any requests for support.
