The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the cost to the public purse has been of UK military flights over Gaza since October 2023.

Answered by Al Carns

While I am unable to disclose these costs for reasons of operational security and as a matter of policy, Defence operational spend in relation to the Israel-Gaza conflict and the wider Middle East has been published in its Annual Reports and Accounts for financial years 2023-24 and 2024-25.
