They have all been remanded in custody.

It comes after the action, which was claimed by the group Palestine Action, caused £7million worth of damage to the aircraft on June 20.

CTPSE said a on suspicion of assisting an offender had been released on bail until September 19.

A was released without charge.

MPs on Wednesday backed the Government’s move to ban the direct action group as a terrorist organisation.

Legislation passed in the Commons as MPs voted 385 to 26, majority 359 in favour of proscribing the group under the Terrorism Act 2000.

The motion is expected to be debated and voted on by the House of Lords on Thursday before it becomes law.
