Military Bases: Armed Conflict
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what mechanisms are used to determine whether UK bases are used for offensive or defensive operations in support of allied military action.
Answered by Al Carns
For operational security reasons, we do not offer comment or information relating to foreign nations' military operations. Permissions to utilise UK military bases are considered on a case-by-case basis and the decision to grant permission is dependent on the nature and purpose of their activity which includes consideration of the applicable legal and policy frameworks.
