Kurds: Military Aid

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what military equipment his Department has supplied to the Kurdish Peshmerga since 22 June 2015.

Answer

On 22 June 2015 (Official Report, column 13WS) I informed the House that we were gifting additional medical supplies to the Peshmerga. This equipment includes tourniquets, bandage kits and dressings for wounds. No other military equipment has been supplied since that date.

Previously, we have gifted 50 tonnes of non-lethal support, 40 heavy machine guns and nearly half a million rounds of ammunition to the Kurdish Peshmerga.
