The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps his Department is taking to improve the UK’s ability to counter emerging drone-based threats.
Answered by Al Carns
The Strategic Defence Review announced an investment of £1 billion to enhance our homeland air and missile defence. Work to deliver the Strategic Defence Review recommendations, including on emerging drone based threats, will be prioritised appropriately against the assessed threat picture as part of the future Integrated Force and set out in the Defence Investment Plan to be published this year.
