§ Mr. JenkinTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what measures he has taken to provide for the enforcement of no-fly zones around nuclear power stations. [13834]
§ Mr. WhittingdaleTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what measures are being taken to enforce no-fly zones around nuclear installations. [13476]
§ Mr. IngramSecurity of nuclear installations is a matter for the Department of Trade and Industry. The Royal Air Force has an established and well-practised air defence capability which is ready to detect, deter or destroy aircraft intending to attack any target within the UK, including nuclear installations. Adjustments have been made to our air defence posture since 11 September, but, for obvious reasons, I do not propose to go into detail on the nature of these changes.
