The UK has an ongoing programme of counter-narcotics assistance for Colombia. It would not be appropriate to provide details about this programme, as its disclosure would, or would be likely to prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces. <br><br>In addition, a number of other Armed Forces and Ministry of Defence personnel travelled to Colombia during 2013 and 2014 in order to further the defence relationship. These visits focused on defence education; transformation of the Colombian defence organisation; human rights and humanitarian law and post conflict transition.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 27/10/2014 16:50:17 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne previous answer version 24032 answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
