Guided Weapons: Defence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if his Department will make an estimate of the cost of an “iron dome” air defence system for the UK.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Iron Dome is Israel's approach to Integrated Air and Missile Defence, and based upon the threat Israel faces, its geography and capability. Capable and effective Integrated Air and Missile Defence for the UK will be accomplished as part of a NATO endeavour. The Strategic Defence Review considered similar factors for the UK Homeland and announced up to £1 billion investment in air and missile defence of the UK.
