Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the nuclear emergency response policy following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

There has been no need to review Defence nuclear emergency response policy in the context of the Russian invasion of Ukraine as it is focused on emergency preparedness and response requirements in the event of a radiation emergency involving UK defence nuclear assets. Adequacy and currency of the policy and associated emergency response arrangements are ensured through regular review and testing.
