Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether there are any plans to extend Operation Isotrope beyond 31 January 2023.
The plan is for military primacy to end on 31 January 2023, at which point responsibility will revert to the Home Office and Border Force. Any decision on a potential extension to operation ISOTROPE will be taken nearer that time and will take into account the operational requirements and funding arrangements.
