Yemen: Military Intervention

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the Government is assisting the Saudi-led offensive in Yemen by the provision of (a) personnel, (b) aircraft, (c) training and (d) any other type of support.

Answer

In addition to UK personnel wholly providing support for British-supplied equipment, we have a small number of liaison personnel in Saudi coalition Headquarters, including the Maritime Coalition Co-ordination Centre that supports the enablement of humanatarian aid into Yemen. There are no UK aircraft or training in direct support of Saudi operations. We continue to supply equipment that conforms to our export criteria.
