Part of Defence – in the House of Commons at on 10 February 2025.
Luke Pollard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence
I am grateful for the hon. Member’s question—it is a good one. We are seeing more risks posed to our critical underwater infrastructure by players who wish harm to our national security. We already have brilliant capability in RFA Proteus, which is able to support our infrastructure and that of our allies. When the strategic defence review is published in the spring, I am sure that there will be more developments in that direction.
