Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Howell of Guildford (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 21 April 2016.


Iraqi Troops: Training

Question

My Lords, if I could get slightly closer to the Question, which is about training troops to fight against Daesh, does the Minister have the latest figures for how many troops we have in Jordan, which in many ways is the other key front against Daesh operations? I know that this is slightly outside the Question but it is very much part of the overall battlefield.

Answer

My Lords, I do not have the precise figures to hand, but we have increased our aid to Lebanon and Jordan with exactly that in mind.
