Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

United Kingdom Military Installations

Contribution

Through written answers, I was able to find out that the police costs for the 2024 drone incursions at RAF Lakenheath, RAF Mildenhall and RAF Feltwell were over £600,000, but there was no information on the total cost. We know that hostile states such as Russia and Iran will try to probe such bases, because it is cheap for them but potentially costly for us. Will the Minister make sure that he does everything he can to capture the full cost of these incursions for our bases and the wider economy?
