Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much his Department has spent with Straight Flight Nevada Commercial Leasing LLC since October 2023.
This question was answered on 18th September 2025
The Ministry of Defence has been conducting unarmed surveillance flights over Gaza for the sole purpose of locating hostages.
The UK controls what information is passed on to Israeli authorities and only information relating to hostage rescue will be passed to the relevant authority, and only when we believe it will be used in accordance with International Humanitarian Law.
I cannot comment on these matters further for reasons of operational security.
