	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2014 answer text <p>Training of UK personnel in the six countries identified has not involved unmanned aircraft actively engaged in operations. Unmanned aircraft system (UAS) training has only ever occurred in non-operational environments, specifically the countries listed in my previous answer on 27 March 2014. Army UAS actively engaged in operations have always been, and continue to be, remotely piloted solely by fully trained personnel operating on the ground in the country in which the operation is active. This has only been in Iraq and Afghanistan.</p> answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois question first answered 08/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois
