To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential impact on European security of a drawdown of US Air Force in Europe – United Kingdom (USAFE-UK) forces; and what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the potential impact of such a drawdown for local economies in areas surrounding USAFE-UK bases.

Decisions on the deployment of US forces are for the US Administration. We welcome the continued presence of United States forces in the UK, their engagement with the local communities in which they are based and the role they play in contributing to European defence, security and deterrence.
