Recommendation 20
20
Paragraph: 89
Set out scope for scaling up Scottish defence presence to meet North Atlantic obligations.
Recommendation
In its response to this report, the UK Government should set out what scope it considers for the defence presence in Scotland to be sufficiently scaled up to respond to a scenario where the UK has greater obligations in the North Atlantic and the High North. In particular, its response should consider how rapidly capacity for basing and operating assets from Scottish bases could be increased if required.
