Sudan: Unmanned Air Systems

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Baroness Chapman of Darlington on 24 June (HL Deb cols 663–6), whether they have any plans to advocate for a no-fly zone across Sudan and call for an emergency debate in the United Nations Security Council.

Answer

I refer the Noble Lord to the answers I provided on 24 June in the Private Notice Question debate on the crisis in El Obeid, and I stress again that - alongside our international partners - the UK is doing everything that we believe will make a difference on the ground, to prevent the mass loss of civilian life that we all fear.
