Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what potential undersea threats have been identified off the coast of northern Scotland by Royal Air Force P8 Poseidon aircraft a) ZP802, b) ZP803, c) ZP805, d) ZP806, e) ZP808 and f) ZP808 since 1 August 2025.

The Ministry of Defence takes threats to the UK's waters seriously, and UK Armed Forces are ready to respond to any potential threat. We are unable to disclose specific details around the missions conducted by the RAF's P8 Poseidon aircraft, as to do so would undermine operational security.
