Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with references to threats made by Russia to UK security, if he will enhance mobile and physical security checks at (a) military and (b) other government facilities.

The Ministry of Defence does not comment on our security arrangements on national security grounds. We take the security of our people, assets and sites extremely seriously and have robust measures in place to ensure the integrity of the Defence Estate. These measures are kept under constant review and adjusted according to the threat. The security of other government facilities is the responsibility of their respective ministers and Permanent Secretaries.
