See the article: Unknown territory: America’s secret archipelago of UK bases (Independent, link)

And see: Exclusive: Peers call for proper scrutiny of American military bases in UK used for drone strikes and mass spying (Independent, link):

"Scrutiny of American military bases in Britain could be increased dramatically for the first time in more than 60 years under cross-party proposals provoked by evidence that the installations are being used for drone strikes and mass spying activities.

Draft proposals tabled by peers from all three major parties demand that the Government overhaul the “outdated” rules under which the Pentagon’s network of UK outposts operate following claims of British complicity in US drone missions in the Middle East and eavesdropping on European allies."
