Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 November 2026

Debate

United Kingdom Military Installations

Contribution

There is critical defence and aerospace infrastructure in my constituency and across Northern Ireland that must also be protected. Given that the US felt compelled to disperse vital assets due to perceived vulnerabilities, can the Minister outline what immediate, tangible counter-drone and perimeter upgrades are being deployed across the UK and in Northern Ireland to reassure our allies that British soil is completely safe, especially when we consider the non-existent border that offers no protection from possible threats?
