Falkland Islands: Guided Weapons
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that the defence of the Falkland Islands reflects developments in long-range missile technology.
- Answer
-
As the Strategic Defence Review set out, a core role for Defence is the protection of the UK’s overseas territories, which includes maintaining a defensive military posture in the Falkland Islands. We review that posture regularly to ensure it reflects all relevant developments. I am confident that our current military presence in the region is appropriately scaled to ensure the security of the Islands.
