The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many flights for non-UK nationals have been funded by her Department (a) directly and (b) through the Integrated Security Fund since 4 July 2024.

Answered by Keir Mather

Since July 2024, DfT has funded flights for non-UK nationals through both the Integrated Security Fund, a cross-government fund, and departmental budgets, including in support of both maritime and aviation security outcomes. The Department does not routinely comment on national security matters, and it is not considered in the public interest to provide further details on this area of work.
