Navy: Strait of Hormuz

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will list the Royal Navy assets that will be sent to support the reopening of the strait of Hormuz.

Answered by Al Carns

We constantly review deployments of Royal Navy assets in line with securing the interests of the UK and our allies. We are continuing to work closely with our allies and partners in the region to mitigate threats to UK shipping. The Strait of Hormuz is a current issue and it would not be appropriate to specify details of any operational planning.
