answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>​The Saudi-led Coalition does not publish information on which items are used in specific air strikes, and has not done so in the case of the 9 August strike. The UK is not a member of the Coalition and we do not have any role in setting Coalition policy, or executing air strikes in Yemen. The UK will not issue an export licence to Saudi Arabia, or any other country, if we assess there is a clear risk the items might be used in the commission of a serious violation of international humanitarian law.</p><p>On 1 September, the Saudi-led Coalition's Joint Incidents Assessment Team announced the outcome of an investigation into the 9 August incident, its regret and action to address the recommendations of that investigation. We welcome this acknowledgement and these steps.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/09/2018 15:48:31 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>​We believe it is right for the Saudi-led Coalition in the first instance to conduct thorough and conclusive investigations into incidents where it is alleged that international humanitarian law has been breached. The Coalition has the best insight into its own military procedures and will be able to conduct the most thorough and conclusive investigations.</p><p>On 1 September, the Coalition's Joint Incidents Assessment Team announced the outcome of an investigation into the 9 August incident, its regret and action to address the recommendations of the investigation. We welcome this acknowledgement and these steps.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/09/2018 15:49:53 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
