There have been no unauthorised incursions by any foreign military aircraft into sovereign air space around the UK, which projects 12 miles off shore or to mutually agreed mid-points between adjacent nations over narrow straits such as the Straits of Dover. The UK civil air traffic region and the NATO Air Policing Area, which the UK has responsibility for monitoring, include large areas of international airspace through which foreign military traffic may legally transit.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 24/10/2016 14:46:49 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2016 answer text <p>As a leading member of the Coalition, the United Kingdom has assisted in the training and mentoring of over 29,000 local Iraqi security forces (including over 6,900 Kurdish Peshmerga). This includes infantry, counter-IED, medical and engineering skills - including a small team of Royal Engineers mentoring Iraqi forces carrying out bridge building in support of the liberation of Mosul, over 40 km from the city, in response to a request from the Coalition for specialist assistance. Many of the forces British troops have trained are participating in the operation to recapture Mosul.</p><p>The RAF is contributing its advanced air capabilities to Coalition operations in support of Iraqi forces on the ground. Since the start of the Mosul operation, the majority of RAF strikes have been in support of the Iraqi ground operation in and around that city.</p><p>Additionally, the UK has been at the forefront of humanitarian support and recently committed £40 million to the Iraqi government, which will include a contribution to the Mosul aid plan. This brings the total pledged by the UK to help the victims of Daesh to almost £170 million since 2014.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 28/10/2016 13:12:35 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2016 answer text <p>We do not maintain records that distinguish between the numbers of passports surrendered voluntarily or otherwise by individuals subject to Football Banning Orders. A criminal conviction is not always required before a person becomes subject to a Football Banning Order. The police or Crown Prosecution Service may apply to the court for such an Order against an individual where there is evidence that the individual has caused or contributed to violence or disorder in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, and that making a banning order would help to prevent violence or disorder at or in connection with a regulated football match.</p><p>Individuals subject to Football Banning Orders are required to surrender their passport to the police during a control period set to cover an international football tournament or an individual overseas match. The control period for the 2016 European Championship is from 31 May to 10 July 2016, and as of 15 June, 1,393 passports had been accounted for which is 99% of passports held by those who were subject to Football Banning Orders at the start of the tournament.</p><p>During the control period for the 2012 European Championship, 1,821 passports were accounted for which amounted to 95% of those subject to orders and who had a passport. In the control period for the 2014 World Cup, 1,430 passports were accounted for which amounted to 98% of those with orders who had passports.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 27/06/2016 12:07:28 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
