In terms of recent Russian military aircraft activity which has attracted media attention, these aircraft have remained in international airspace at all times. The UK civil air traffic region and the NATO Air Policing Area, for which the UK have responsibility for monitoring, include large areas of international air space through which foreign military traffic may legally transit.</p> answering member constituency Rayleigh and Wickford answering member printed Mr Mark Francois question first answered 09/03/2015 17:19:04 answering member 1444 label Biography information for Mr Mark Francois

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2015 answer text <p>The strengthening of Iraq’s security forces forms a regular part of our engagement with the Government of Iraq, including when the Foreign Secretary hosted the inaugural meeting of the Small Group of the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL on 22 January. The meeting was attended by both Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al Abadi and Foreign Minister Ibrahim Al-Jaafari. Discussions included the need to support the Government of Iraq in its fight against ISIL, as well as the need for progress in strengthening Iraq’s political stability through addressing Sunni disenfranchisement. This would include progress on the creation of a National Guard, legislation in this regard would, in part, see Sunni tribal forces brought under the aegis of Iraq’s security forces, politically and militarily drawing together Sunni and Shia in their common fight against ISIL.</p><p>The UK is actively contributing to the Global Coalition’s efforts in support of Iraqi Forces including conducting over 150 strikes and training over 1000 members of the Kurdish Peshmerga. In addition to our earlier delivery of lethal equipment to the Peshmerga, which included 40 Heavy Machine Guns, subject to parliamentary scrutiny, we will also gift 1000 surplus VALLON Counter-IED metal detectors to Iraq, and deploy a team to provide training in their use.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 06/03/2015 12:53:26 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
