The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what additional security his Department plans to provide to UK army bases.

Answered by Luke Pollard

As per my statement on Monday 23 June 2025, a full security review is being conducted across the defence estate. Further plans will be announced in due course after the completion of the review.

Whilst the Army will undertake some specific measures to provide additional security for its infrastructure as part of this wider work, these cannot be disclosed for reasons of operational security.
