[Alan Brown (Kilmarnock and Loudoun) (SNP)]

What recent steps his Department has taken to protect UK territorial waters in the (a) north Atlantic and (b) North sea.

[The Secretary of State for Defence (Mr Ben Wallace)]

The protection of UK territorial waters is a cross-Government responsibility.  The Ministry of Defence contributes to this by providing a multi-layered capability to deter incursions into territorial waters. This includes a range of assets based in Scotland, from surface ships and submarines based on the Clyde to the new Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft based at RAF Lossiemouth. That is a good example of how United Kingdom defence contributes to the security of all these islands.
