	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>​I am aware of the concerns raised by the Sikh Federation UK in their report released on 1 November. I appreciate that the tragic events of 1984 are still the source of great pain to many in the Sikh community. The Cabinet Secretary's 2014 investigation into the UK military role in Operation Blue Star concluded that UK military advice and assistance was advisory, ended several months before the operation and had limited impact on the tragic events that followed. I am satisfied that the 2014 review dealt conclusively with this issue.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 20/11/2017 17:02:07 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
