To ask His Majesty's Government whether the UK has any weapons in space; and if not, whether they have any plans to deploy some.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the UK has any weapons in space; and if not, whether they have any plans to deploy some.
We do not comment on specific Defence capabilities, including whether such capabilities are deployed in space, nor on future operational plans where doing so would risk undermining national security. We do however recognise that space is important to military operations and is becoming more congested, contested, and competitive. The Government is committed to collaborating with allies and partners to promote internationally agreed norms, avoid unintentional escalation and conflict, and ensure that space remains open, safe, and sustainable.
In addition, the UK's national security depends on freedom of action in space, including the ability to protect UK and allied space assets. As set out in the UK Space Strategy and Defence Investment Plan, the Government is investing in capabilities to strengthen resilience and support the protection of UK interests in space, while continuing to operate responsibly and in accordance with international law.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, , with reference to page 67 of the Strategic Defence Review 2025, to what extent operation planning for enduring deployments at scale takes into account pastoral, practical, and financial support for families.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, , with reference to page 67 of the Strategic Defence Review 2025, to what extent operation planning for enduring deployments at scale takes into account pastoral, practical, and financial support for families.
The British Armed Forces defines fighting power through three core, mutually supporting components detailed in doctrine (JDP 0-01): the conceptual, the moral, and the physical. Pastoral care, practical and financial support form part of the moral component and is therefore, central to our operational planning.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the potential impact of the United States Department of War’s Europe Posture Review on the UK’s commitment of a) air and b) land forces in Europe above current deployment levels.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the potential impact of the United States Department of War’s Europe Posture Review on the UK’s commitment of a) air and b) land forces in Europe above current deployment levels.
The Department of War review will examine America's force posture and basing in Europe. The review has commenced and the US have assured us and our Allies that it is intended to strengthen NATO. Whilst we do not provide a running commentary on classified discussions held between NATO allies, constructive discussions between the UK, European Allies and the United States on burden sharing continue.
European Allies fully recognise the indispensable role the United States has played over many decades, and will continue to play, in keeping the Euro-Atlantic safe. As Prime Minister Keir Starmer said at the Munich Security Conference earlier this year, Europe must move “from overdependence to interdependence” with the United States, with a stronger European contribution to NATO. At Ankara, European Allies showcased how we are stepping up and delivering our commitment to a stronger Europe in a stronger NATO.
UK forces are on the frontline of NATO and will remain so. From our Carrier Strike Group deployed in the North Atlantic for the past three months, to the UK forces in Estonia. The Typhoons jets defending the skies over Romania, and the RAF P-8 Poseidon and Rivet Joint surveillance aircraft patrolling the Baltic Sea.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps his Department is taking to ensure better safeguards are put in place for service personnel who receive court correspondence while deployed on exercise.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps his Department is taking to ensure better safeguards are put in place for service personnel who receive court correspondence while deployed on exercise.
Service personnel are subject to the same court procedures and protections as other court users. Where an individual is deployed on military duties and this affects their ability to receive, respond to, or act upon court correspondence, the court may take relevant circumstances into account when considering case management decisions.
Depending on the nature of the proceedings, safeguards may include the ability to notify the court of deployment commitments, apply for an adjournment or alternative arrangements where appropriate, and provide evidence of military service obligations. Courts consider such requests on a case-by-case basis, balancing the interests of justice, fairness to all parties, and the effective progression of proceedings.

The UK continually assesses lessons from contemporary conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, to ensure our forces remain effective and credible. As set out in the UK-Estonia Defence Roadmap, the UK's Forward Land Forces presence in Estonia will transition to a Mobile Anti-Armour Force from April 2027. This evolution reflects lessons on the importance of mobility, dispersion, resilience, uncrewed systems, integrated intelligence and targeting, and networked command-and-control. These changes will deliver a more mobile, survivable and lethal force, better suited to Estonia's operational environment and NATO's defence plans.

The UK-Estonia Defence Roadmap will modernise the UK's Forward Land Forces presence in Estonia to strengthen the defence and deterrence of Estonia as part of NATO. The decision followed extensive analysis, including comprehensive joint wargaming, which showed that the new Mobile Anti-Armour Force will deliver greater operational effect than the current armoured construct. The new force will provide greater mobility, enhanced survivability, greater endurance, and increased lethality resulting in a more capable force better suited to Estonia's operational environment.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 22 July 2026 to question 18797 on Railways: Armed Forces, by what date he plans to establish an integrated approach to international and domestic rail movements.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the answer of 22 July 2026 to question 18797 on Railways: Armed Forces, by what date he plans to establish an integrated approach to international and domestic rail movements.
The Ministry of Defence recognises the important role rail can play in strengthening military mobility and is progressing work to develop a more integrated approach to domestic and international rail movements. This forms part of wider efforts to enhance the resilience and effectiveness of Defence's strategic logistics network. Defence is engaging across Government, with industry and with international partners to ensure that future rail capability development supports operational requirements at home and overseas. Whilst no specific completion date has been established, this remains an important area of ongoing capability development.
