To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has offered British assistance in de-mining Hodeidah port in Yemen and surrounding waters.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has offered British assistance in de-mining Hodeidah port in Yemen and surrounding waters.
It is essential that the port of al-Hudaydah remains open to commercial and humanitarian shipping. The UK is liaising with international partners to determine the best way to ensure this happens. If de-mining is required the UK has relevant expertise and capabilities that could be brought to bear to facilitate access of humanitarian and commercial shipping.
