Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he has taken to protect (a) service personnel and (b) their families at RAF Akrotiri since 1 March 2026.

We are providing non‑essential personnel and their families with supported temporary accommodation elsewhere on the island of Cyprus. For essential personnel who remain on site, our force protection measures are maintained at the highest level. Throughout January and February, we were moving defensive assets to Cyprus and Qatar such as fighter jets, air defence missiles, advanced radar, and systems to take down drones.
