Iraq: Peacekeeping Operations

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans there are for the RAF to resume daytime flights on the Jasper airbridge in Iraq.
Answer

[holding answer 10 December 2007]: RAF logistics flights into and around Iraq are undertaken in a way that strikes the correct balance between minimising risks and meeting operational requirements. Generally this means that flights are undertaken during the hours of darkness, but the most appropriate scheduling of each flight is considered on a case-by-case basis.
