USA: Military Bases
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether it is his Department's policy not to provide information on the number of United States military personnel present at each of its bases in the United Kingdom.
- Answer
-
There is no specific policy that requires this Government to withhold the number of United States personnel based within the UK, however as previously advised we are withholding this information in the interest of personal security. The number of United States personnel at United States Visiting Forces (USVF) sites was disclosed in 2024, however, we are in a new era of threat that remains more serious and less predictable.
