RAF Akrotiri: Security
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what additional security steps he is putting in place to protect the RAF Akrotiri base.
Answered by Al Carns
The Department cannot comment on the specific security measures in place at individual sites. However, we can confirm that the Ministry of Defence operates a multi-layered approach designed to deter, detect, and respond to any threat to protect our assets.
The deployment of HMS Dragon is in addition to the considerable amount of capability positioned into RAF Akrotiri since January, including hundreds of armed forces personnel, radar, air defence missiles and F35s to defend our bases, people and interests.
We remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of security to safeguard our national defence capabilities.
