Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans there are for military personnel to provide support at ports in the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.
The Ministry of Defence has not placed any additional personnel on standby to provide support to ports throughout the UK for Brexit. However, Defence has developed a prudent standby package of 3,300 Defence personnel who are on standby to support civil authorities on a range of tasks if required.
