I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Cabinet Office.
The 2010 National Security Strategy was informed by a National Security Risk Assessment (NSRA) which provides a comprehensive assessment and prioritisation of all major extant and emerging risks which seriously threaten the UK's national security interests. Due to the NSRA's strategic focus it does not include a specific risk of drone acquisition or their use but does include a range of more generic state-led and non-state led threats to our national security interests. The employment of an array of offensive technologies, including drones, was considered when assessing these generic threat scenarios.
