To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what assessment he has made of the potential threat posed by hostile drones to critical national energy infrastructure, including gas terminals.
It would not be appropriate to comment on specific threat assessments, for security reasons. However, security and resilience arrangements are kept under regular review to ensure they remain effective against a changing threat environment.
DESNZ works extensively with the National Protective Security Authority, the energy industry, regulators and other stakeholders, including the Home Office and MOD, to continually improve and maintain the security and resilience of energy infrastructure to a wide range of hazards and threats.
Security arrangements at gas infrastructure sites, including gas terminals, are determined on the basis of risk and threat, and proportionate measures are taken to mitigate unauthorised drone activity. This is informed by National Protective Security Authority guidance and compliance with relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
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.
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.
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.

Defence Air Safety Occurrence Reports (DASORs) are safety reports submitted by personnel involved in, or witness to, aviation safety occurrences. They form part of the Ministry of Defence's (MOD) aviation safety management system and are used to support the investigation of safety events, identify hazards, and improve aviation safety. DASORs are not intended to provide assessments of intent, ownership, attribution, or threat.
The MOD does not comment on specific threat assessments, intelligence matters, or operational security measures.
The DASOR submitted by the pilot of Warlord 31 reported a loss of safe separation with another object as an airprox event. This was subsequently investigated by the independent United Kingdom Airprox Board who published their summary report airprox number 2026014 in April 2026 at the following link https://www.airproxboard.org.uk/media/3ikpobnb/april-drone-summary-sheet.pdf .

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which areas are considered segregated airspace for the use of Beyond Visual Line of Sight drone operations.
Airspace in the United Kingdom is the responsibility of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). MOD officials work very closely with the CAA to integrate the airspace requirements for military Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone flying in a proportionate manner to ensure the safety of all airspace users. This can include temporary segregated airspace, notified through the NOTAM system or the Aeronautical Information Circular, or permanent segregated airspace, such as Danger Areas, coordinated with civil airspace users through the formal CAP1616 Airspace Change Process.
