Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 27 November 2023 to Question 2762 on Middle East: Armed Forces, what the conclusion was of the review led by the Chief of the Defence Staff; and what steps he has taken to improve the force protection posture of UK personnel in the Middle East.
For reasons of operational security, I cannot comment on the specific nature of steps taken to ensure the force protection of UK personnel in the Middle East. I can confirm though that the steps laid out in the review of 20 October have been taken and the posture remains under constant review.
