Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many times RAF Poseidon P8 aircraft have been intercepted by Russian jets in international airspace in each of the last 24 months.

I am withholding the information requested as the disclosure of information regarding interactions between RAF Poseidon P8 aircraft and foreign military assets could, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness, or security of the Armed Forces.
