The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the operational use of RAF Akrotiri by the United States Air Force on Operation Olive Harvest.

Answered by Al Carns

For operational security reasons, we do not offer comment or information relating to foreign nation’s military operations. Permissions to utilise UK military bases are considered on a case-by-case basis and the decision to grant permission is dependent on the nature and purpose of their activity.
