Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to establishing land-based missile defences for major population centres and critical infrastructure in Great Britain; what estimate they have made of the cost of any such provision; and whether they have considered how a supply of requisite ordnance might be secured.

His Majesty’s Government continually monitors and assesses the threats to the United Kingdom. A range of air and missile defence capabilities are under consideration within the Defence Investment Plan.
