Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister, said today the Government would 'do whatever it takes' to keep the UK safe from the threat of spy balloons.
Speaking on a visit to a new £10m health diagnosis centre in Royton, Oldham, the PM said 'national security matters' prevented him from commenting in more detail, but insisted the UK was in 'constant touch' with allies. Mr Sunak also spoke out on the amount of aid being sent to Turkey and Syria after the devastating earthquake and around water sewage pollution.
His comments came after Defence Secretary, Ben Wallace, announced Britain would conduct a security review after a series of objects in western airspace were shot down by the US military, including a suspected Chinese spy balloon.
