Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether his Department has offered the use of funded flying hours from the RAF Voyager fleet to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to repatriate UK nationals during the covid-19 pandemic.
As part of the Government’s COVID-19 response effort, the Ministry of Defence has so far provided places on 11 pre-scheduled flights on Military Aircraft to repatriate British Nationals at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s request, which has included the use of Voyager Aircraft where appropriate.
