answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2014 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) regularly consults with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and other Government Departments and intelligence agencies, as well as our allies and partners, constantly to review or identify potential threats to UK Overseas Territories (UKOTs). In the first instance the MOD seeks to deter such attacks using deterrence measures including, where necessary, permanently based military garrisons or dedicated patrols, visits by deployed military forces, and more broadly the maintenance of world class deployable military forces. Should deterrence fail to prevent an attack, the Department remains confident that it has the necessary contingency plans and high readiness deployable forces in the UK and elsewhere to respond accordingly to any attack on a UKOT.</p> answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois
