Military Bases: Security
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 19 October 2026 to Question 36153, how much of the investment in surveillance and counter-drone capabilities has taken place in (i) Scottish, (ii) English and (iii) Welsh military bases.
- Answer
-
Pursuant to the Answer of 19 October 2026 to Question 36153, the Defence Investment Plan includes £200 million of further investment in deployable counter-drone technology to enhance the protection of Armed Forces personnel and operations against the growing threat posed by hostile drones. These capabilities are designed to be deployable and support Defence-wide requirements across the Armed Forces, rather than being associated with a particular military base. A breakdown of this investment by military bases in Scotland, England and Wales is therefore not available.
