Answer
We are working closely with our European allies to respond to threats against our collective critical national infrastructure.
The Ministry of Defence has launched the Atlantic Bastion programme which will create an advanced hybrid naval force. It has also provided an extra £100 million for vital P8 submarine-hunting aircraft and is working closely with NATO Allies, including Norway, to deliver the Lunna House agreement, which will deliver a combined fleet of new submarine-hunting frigates and uncrewed systems.
