To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to use British aircraft as part of an international effort to enforce a no-fly zone intended to stop Russian attacks on Syria.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to use British aircraft as part of an international effort to enforce a no-fly zone intended to stop Russian attacks on Syria.
The Government understands the attraction of an internationally supported no-fly zone in Syria. We have not ruled out any options as we continue to work to identify what more the international community can do to support the UN and help the people of Syria, but the practicalities of any no-fly zone would need to be considered very carefully with partners.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how much money has been spent to date, and how much money is allocated to be spent in the future, on training the Burmese army.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how much money has been spent to date, and how much money is allocated to be spent in the future, on training the Burmese army.
We do not provide combat training to the Burmese army. Since 2013, we have undertaken a limited number of carefully calibrated education courses with the Burmese military focussed on modernisation and reform of the army and which adhere to the core principles of democratic accountability, international law and human rights. As the single most influential institution in Burma, it is right that we engage with the military to encourage them to support Burma's continuing transition to democracy.
From late 2013 to March 2015, the UK spent £105,905 on these educational activities. In financial year 2015-16, £74,210.82 has been allocated for the provision of English Language Training at the Defence Services Academy of Burma and a further £85,000 towards the delivery of leadership and reform activities. We are continuing to carefully assess what additional educational activities we might undertake with the Burmese military in future years in order to encourage reform.
