Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent assessment he has made of the operational effectiveness of his Department’s intervention in the English Channel; and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 16th September 2020
Defence is providing assistance as a part of a Home Office-led operation, therefore the ultimate assessment of its effectiveness will lie with them as the lead department. The Ministry of Defence and the Home Office will work together to ensure that all requests for Defence support continue to be delivered according to the principles of Military Aid to the Civil Authorities.
