To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will place in the Library a copy of the MOD Guidance on visits to military sites by HM Opposition.
I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to Question 128586 on the 28 April 2026:
The Ministry of Defence is eager to facilitate more engagement with Parliamentarians, and we are proactively doing so given the importance of Defence within the national conversation. Defence Ministers are committed to ensuring the Department is being more transparent and engaged with MPs from all parties, supporting visits to sites across the UK to meet our brave Service men and women.
Parliamentarians can seek approval to visit an establishment, including requests for media or photography in advance, and these are approved on a case-by-case basis noting security protocols and sensitivities. The most effective route remains to contact the Parliamentary Engagement Lead for the relevant Service in the first instance. Constituency MPs or MPs for immediately neighbouring constituencies may arrange visits directly with local establishments.

The Photovoltaic Farms Project was intended to deliver strategic and environmental benefits. The project no longer represented value for money due to cost escalation and unforeseeable technical constraints limiting the benefits.

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to reintroduce the Diego Garcia Military Base and British Indian Ocean Territory Bill within this session of Parliament.
Diego Garcia is a key strategic military asset for both the UK and the US, which has protected our shared security for nearly 60 years.

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Hanson of Flint on 27 July (HL2056), whether the Ministry of Defence plans to publish a timetable for the reopening of Cameron Barracks for use by all previous user groups; and whether they plan to ensure Highland Council...
Cameron Barracks is planned to return to Defence use this Autumn following the announcement by the Home Office in June 26 that they were no longer considering the site for asylum accommodation. As the site was never used for temporary accommodation, there is limited refurbishment and remediation works required.
Previous user groups and the military families whose service families accommodation is located at the barracks, were notified over the summer that the site is returning to Ministry of Defence (MOD) use. The MOD has continued to engage with local stakeholders throughout, although they would not normally notify the Highland Council about the routine use of Defence sites within their jurisdiction.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 90 of his Department's Strategic Defence Review, published 2 June 2025, what steps he has taken to provide additional capabilities for the protection of bases and CNI in the event of (a) crisis and (b) conflict.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 90 of his Department's Strategic Defence Review, published 2 June 2025, what steps he has taken to provide additional capabilities for the protection of bases and CNI in the event of (a) crisis and (b) conflict.
The Strategic Defence Review committed to strengthening the protection of Defence bases and Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) in crisis and conflict. Defence is investing an additional £470 million to improve the security of military sites in the UK. This is supportive of broader home defence planning to ensure the resilience of the UK’s most important CNI. By contributing Defence data to the Cabinet Office's CNI Knowledge Base, we are fulfilling the commitments set out in the Resilience Action Plan and improving our understanding of the infrastructure, dependencies and vulnerabilities that would be most critical in a conflict scenario.
This analysis is informing our Home Defence planning by ensuring that we align Defence resources and capabilities to the protection of the most important infrastructure against a broad spectrum of threats, from hybrid activity through to conventional conflict. It will also help to identify what Defence could contribute to support the protection of other priority CNI that is essential to the functioning of the country.
Through the Defence Investment Plan and the wider Home Defence Programme, we are also investing in capabilities including Integrated Air and Missile Defence. Defence is investing £240 million in Project PRESAGIUM, an enhanced counter-drone system, providing effective detection and defeat of emerging drone threats. We are growing and equipping the Reserves to support Homeland Defence tasks and enhancing capabilities to protect critical underwater infrastructure. Our Integrated Air and Missile Defence capabilities will be prioritised against the assessed threat as part of the future Integrated Force.
