Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what resources they provide for defending each of the (1) Crown Dependencies, and (2) British Overseas Territories; and what is the total cost of such resources.
This question was answered on 3rd November 2021
Her Majesty's Government retains an independent ability to defend the UK but also the Overseas Territories and the Crown Dependencies including providing high readiness maritime, land and air assets to deter and respond to threats. As such, it is not possible to distinguish the individual resources and costs in defending the Overseas Territories and the Crown Dependencies.
