question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to page 67 of the Integrated Review 2021 and the escalation of tensions on the Taiwan border, what recent assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the UK’s military presence in the Indo-Pacific region.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2022 answer text <p>The Integrated Review recognises that the Indo-Pacific region is at the centre of intensifying geopolitical competition with multiple potential flashpoints. The recent actions and remarks made by China on Taiwan are concerning. We will continue to encourage open communication and de-escalation.</p><p>The Ministry of Defence regularly reviews UK global defence posture and capabilities to take account of emerging threats and crises. We have not made an assessment as to the adequacy of the UK's military presence in the Indo-Pacific region. However, we are strengthening defence and security cooperation, increasing our engagement with regional security groupings and exercising with the US, Australia and regional partners, including through the Five Powers Defence Arrangements (FPDA) members.</p><p>Our maritime presence in the region has grown, with the deployment of two Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) as part of our persistent presence approach. The joint UK and US defence facility on the British Indian Ocean Territory plays a vital role in our efforts to keep the region secure and we retain a permanent presence in Brunei, through the Resident Infantry Battalion.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 13/09/2022 15:00:05 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2022 answer text <p>There are regular discussions with Cabinet and ministerial colleagues on the situation in Ukraine. The exploitation of prisoners of war for political purposes is a clear breach of International Humanitarian Law. We will ensure those responsible are held to account and will continue to consider options in concert with our allies. The Government of Ukraine is clear that those serving in the Azov Battalion are legitimate members of the Ukraine Armed Forces. On this basis, HMG's position is that they should be treated as Prisoners of War, and in this context, the FS has not had discussions with Cabinet about the legal status of mercenaries under International Public Law. This is another example of Russia not complying with International Humanitarian Law and instead exploiting individuals for political purposes.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 21/09/2022 15:30:13 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty
