We offer our heartfelt sympathies to the families affected by this terrible act of terrorism. The UK is working hard with regional countries; close international partners; and multilateral organisations to increase their capacity to address the security threats they face. Our major regional contributions are in Nigeria; at the HQ of the Multi-National Joint Task Force; and in support of the EU Training Mission in Mali. We are, though, supporting the Burkina Faso armed forces, together with a number of other African militaries, through our participation in regional training exercises.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 21/01/2016 16:44:34 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

However, the UK does not plan to drop aid to besieged and hard to reach areas inside Syria. This is not the most effective way to improve the humanitarian situation. It would also involve a considerable risk to slow, low-flying transport aircraft both from hostile air defence systems and even low-technology threats such as machine-gun and small-arms fire.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 18/01/2016 16:15:51 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
