Afghanistan
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the threat posed by the use of improvised explosive devices in Helmand Province to UK armed services personnel.
- Answer
-
We continuously assess all threats to UK armed forces personnel wherever they are deployed. It is true that the operating environment in the South of Afghanistan is less benign than in the ISAF's current area of operation, and improvised explosive devices do pose a threat. The safety of our troops is paramount and our troops will deploy with appropriate force protection, tactics and procedures.
