Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the state of the ecosystem in Akrotiri Salt Lake in Cyprus; and what discussions they have had with the government of Cyprus this year regarding regulating activities that affect the Lake’s ecosystem.

We are concerned about the pollution risk at the Akrotiri Salt Lake, which is designated as a Wetland of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention. We are closely monitoring the situation and working with the Government of the Republic of Cyprus and local authorities to take effective action to mitigate risks to the lake's ecosystem.
