	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2015 answer text <p>Her Majesty's Government provides counter-narcotics assistance to a range of international partners, including Afghanistan. We do so to tackle the international drugs trade and minimise the threat it poses to the UK. Our work involves the sharing of operational information and expertise and the provision of capacity building. It is important to protect activities which form part of the UK's contribution to the international counter-narcotics effort and to respect the principle that international partners are able to operate in secrecy on matters of national security against organised crime. As such, it is our policy not to disclose specific details of our counter narcotics work, as to do so risks reducing its effectiveness and damaging international relations.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 21/10/2015 16:00:08 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2015 answer text <p>Remembrance ceremonies and parades are an important and valued means by which communities across the country honour the sacrifice of British service personnel. This is not an issue about police funding. The police have never had a policy of routinely policing Remembrance Sunday parades or other special occasions. The management of these events is a matter for event organisers in conjunction with local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 06/11/2015 13:30:29 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
