South China Sea: Navy
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the potential threat posed by the Chinese Ocean Star Cluster and its layered defences, to future Royal Navy operations in the northern South China Sea.
Answered by Al Carns
As part of its routine responsibilities, the Ministry of Defence conducts assessments of the military capabilities of other states. To protect operational security and safeguard national defence interests, the results of these assessments are not made public.
