Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to recommendation 48 of the Strategic Defence Review: Making Britain Safer: secure at home, strong abroad, published on 2 June 2025, if he will list the commercial facilities that could be potentially used for operations as a military alternative to RAF Brize Norton.

I hope the hon. Gentleman will understand that I am withholding the information requested as its disclosure would, or would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.
