Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the cost to the public purse has been of UK military flights over Gaza since October 2023.

While I am unable to disclose these costs for reasons of operational security and as a matter of policy, Defence operational spend in relation to the Israel-Gaza conflict and the wider Middle East has been published in its Annual Reports and Accounts for financial years 2023-24 and 2024-25.
