Portsmouth Dockyard: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether around-the-clock staffing is in place at HMNB Portsmouth.
Answered by Luke Pollard
HM Naval Base Portsmouth operates on a continuous 24‑hour basis. Appropriate Duty Staff are in place at all times to maintain the safety, security, and operational availability of the site. He will recall from his time as a Defence Minister that for security reasons, the Ministry of Defence does not comment on specific staffing levels or detailed security arrangements at any defence establishment.
