The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether restrictions have been placed on offensive operations in space involving Space Warfighters.

Answered by Al Carns

The Ministry of Defence continuously assess its response options to ensure our Armed Forces can act appropriately against malign activities and future threats.

For reasons of national security, we are not able to disclose specific details of military operations or response options. To do so would be beneficial to our adversaries.
