Written question asked by Mary Creagh (Labour) on Wednesday, 4 November 2015, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 9 November 2015 (named day). It was answered by Penny Mordaunt (Conservative) on Monday, 9 November 2015 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.

Armed Forces: Deployment

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 7 September 2015 to Question 8364, (a) how many and (b) in which countries British military personnel were embedded in (i) each of the last five years and (ii) 2015 to date.

Answer: As my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Defence said in response to your question 8364 on 7 September 2015: given the routine nature of embedding, this information has not been coordinated centrally. The Ministry of Defence is in the process of compiling data on UK personnel embedded with other nations' armed forces, who are deployed on the operations together with those who work on operations in deployed coalition or single nation headquarters roles. I intend to update the House after this process is complete.
