answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2018 answer text <p>​We are in regular contact with the Coalition about the need to ensure that any military operations in and around Hodeidah are conducted in accordance with International Humanitarian Law (IHL), including on the protection of civilians, and do not disrupt commercial and humanitarian flows through the port. The Foreign Secretary also made representations to his UAE and Saudi counterparts on 9 and 10 June respectively. I spoke with my UAE counterpart, Deputy Foreign Minister Gargash, on 13 and 16 June to discuss this and have received assurances that IHL and humanitarian concerns are being factored into operational planning. At all levels, including through regular engagement by our Ambassadors, we have underlined the critical importance of maintaining humanitarian and commercial flows through Hodeidah and Saleef ports. We continue to urge all parties to respect International Humanitarian Law and prioritise the protection of civilians.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 20/06/2018 09:13:25 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>The assistance, information and advice is limited to Saudi Arabia's mitigation of the threat of missiles fired from Houthi territory. This does not mean that we are joining the Saudi-led Coalition operating in Yemen. The UK will have no role in setting Coalition policy or executing air strikes. Our assistance is limited to addressing this specific threat which is damaging the prospects for the political solution in Yemen that this Government is working hard to help deliver.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 25/06/2018 15:59:45 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
