Drones: High-security Prisons

Debate between Baroness Sugg and Lord Timpson

Wednesday 15th January 2025 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Sugg (Con)]

My Lords, can the Minister update the House on any improvements since the introduction in January 2024 of the no-fly zones around certain prisons? Have they been a success, and how can we boost their effectiveness?

[Lord Timpson (Lab)]

The no-fly zones have been a great success and have been an important part of the work we are doing, but there is still further work we need to do. I reiterate that the demand is just as big a problem as the supply.
