Monday 2nd February 2026

Asked by: Lord Stirrup (Crossbench - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what lessons they have learned from recent Russian-linked attempts to attack European logistics hubs; and what assessment they have made of whether current aviation and freight security measures are adequate.

The UK has one of the most robust aviation security regimes in the world. We continue to work with partners across government, internationally and with industry and will continue to monitor and mitigate existing and emerging threats to the transport sector.
