Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to improve resilience at UK overseas army bases in (a) Cyprus and (b) Gibraltar.

We are constantly reviewing and assessing resilience levels in all our overseas locations and working to deliver improvements to areas of greatest threat. Service personnel based in the Sovereign Base Areas on Cyprus and in Gibraltar benefit from the same high levels of routine training and support provided across the Army, as well as the works designed to improve Defence infrastructure in these locations and the overall experience of our personnel based overseas.
