Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will set out whether any military bases within the UK are being used for non-military purposes.

Currently, three military bases have been made available to the Home Office to support their efforts in providing accommodation for asylum seekers.

In addition, the Ministry of Defence permits third parties to use its bases for activities, provided these are compatible with military operations. This arrangement also generates income for the Department.
