The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the level of risk posed by the YJ-12 anti-ship cruise missile to Royal Navy ships.

Answered by Luke Pollard

As part of its routine responsibilities, the Royal Navy carries out comprehensive analyses of potential threats to its operations and assets. To protect operational security and safeguard national defence interests, the results of these assessments are not made public.
