USA: Military Bases
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to help ensure UK compliance with the laws of war in relation to US bombing missions on Iran from UK bases.
Answered by Al Carns
The agreement allowing the US to use UK military bases is for specific and limited defensive action.
Permissions to utilise UK military bases by foreign partners are considered on a case-by-case basis. All UK operational support to allies and partners is carefully considered to ensure legality.
