Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of cost of providing an 'Iron Dome' style defence system to protect the United Kingdom from missile attack.

Iron Dome is Israel’s approach to Integrated Air and Missile Defence, it is based upon the threat Israel faces, its geography and capability. The Strategic Defence Review has considered similar factors for the UK Homeland and announced up to £1 billion investment in air and missile defence of the UK. Specific decisions on the UK’s Integrated Air and Missile Defence will follow through the Defence Investment Plan which is in development within the Ministry of Defence and due for publication in autumn 2025.
