Reform UK has pledged to "fully cooperate" with the Metropolitan Police following an inquiry launched into allegations of overseas donations, according to the political party. The inquiry was reportedly prompted by concerns about potential breaches of electoral law. Reform UK's decision to cooperate comes as the party seeks to address any legitimacy issues surrounding the funding of its campaigns.
The party's stance on the matter was outlined during a debate on the civil aviation bill, where Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander apologized for a recent air traffic control disruption that left thousands of passengers stranded.

While Alexander stated that a cyber-attack was ruled out as the cause of the disruption, she emphasized that safety remains the top priority for air traffic controllers and that the incident was not unavoidable.
