Navy: Strait of Hormuz
(asked on 19th March 2026) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to deploy Royal Navy capabilities to the Strait of Hormuz.
This question was answered on 30th March 2026
The Government is in discussions with the US, and Gulf, European and international partners on what we can do to open up the Strait of Hormuz, restoring freedom of navigation as quickly as possible and ease the economic impact.
It would be premature for me to comment on any military planning, noting the need for using all Government levers including diplomacy and working with partners.
