Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what aircraft her Department uses for the purposes of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations over the English Channel as of 1 June 2023.

The Home Office uses a range of ISR platforms for a variety of reasons and these are provided either directly by contracted suppliers, or through arrangements with other government departments, but it is not in the interests of operational security to itemise each of these capabilities or how they are used.
