Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to Cyprus Environment Department Strategic Environmental Assessment opinion regarding the Non Military Development Policy statement that applies to the sovereign base areas, whether the Chief Officer’s final decision on the agreement will reflect that of the Republic of Cyprus's Environment Department Strategic Environmental Assessment decision.

The Sovereign Base Areas Administration takes its environmental responsibilities extremely seriously, however, no final decisions on the new Non-Military Development Policy Statement have been taken yet.
