Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 January 2025
Debate
Russian Maritime Activity and UK ResponseContribution
Nevertheless, Russia remains the most pressing and immediate threat to Britain, and I want to assure the House and the British people that any threat will be met with strength and resolve. First, we are delivering on the foundation of security in our plan for change by making Britain secure at home. ‘Yantar’ has now passed through the Dover strait and is in Dutch waters. In September, RAF Typhoons scrambled to intercept two Russian Bear F aircraft operating near the UK. The Royal Fleet Auxiliary service is also playing an indispensable role in safeguarding offshore infrastructure with its multi-role ocean surveillance ship, RFA ‘Proteus’.
