	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2015 answer text <p>No UK Reapers have been flown on missions by US personnel or those of any other Coalition nation in Syria since January 2015. US personnel have operated UK Reaper aircraft a small number of times to aid with the launch and recovery of the aircraft only, not the mission itself. A Memorandum of Understanding has been agreed between the UK and US Air Forces which allows the US to request the use of UK Reaper aircraft to conduct missions and vice versa, though to date this has not occurred. Such use by the US would be subject to UK permissions.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 23/11/2015 17:23:42 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
