Written question asked by James Cartlidge (Conservative) on Thursday, 19 March 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 23 March 2026. It was answered by Al Carns (Labour) on Monday, 30 March 2026 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
Navy: Strait of Hormuz
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to deploy Royal Navy capabilities to the Strait of Hormuz.
- Answer
-
The Government is in discussions with the US, and Gulf, European and international partners on what we can do to open up the Strait of Hormuz, restoring freedom of navigation as quickly as possible and ease the economic impact.
It would be premature for me to comment on any military planning, noting the need for using all Government levers including diplomacy and working with partners.
