Written question asked by Richard Holden (Conservative) on Friday, 29 May 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 2 June 2026. It was answered by Luke Pollard (Labour) on Monday, 8 June 2026 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Military Aircraft: Ministers

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the answer of 6 March 2026 to Question 116219, how many taskings have been undertaken for Ministers on RAF CSAT (a) helicopters and (b) planes since July 2024.

Answer

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave to question 116221 on 6 March 2026.

It has been the practice of successive administrations not to publish granular information relating to the official movements of Ministers and those accompanying them within the United Kingdom.

The hon. Member will also be aware we cancelled the VIP helicopter contract upon coming to office after concerns were raised over ministerial use in the last Parliament.
