The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the range of a STRATUS missile.

Answered by Luke Pollard

As he will recall from his time as a Defence Minister, the operational range for the Stratus LO missile is classified information. However, the range is significantly greater than the Storm Shadow and Harpoon weapons that it is replacing.
