WFP report that the cost of JPADS was roughly 3.5 times higher than non-guided parachutes, and that the average percentage of goods recovered from 27 JPADS airdrops was lower than the average for non-guided parachutes.</p><p>The UK does not possess a JPADS capability. We continue to work with partners to explore all viable options for delivering aid into besieged areas in Syria. Aid, delivered by road, by trusted humanitarian partners who can ensure it gets to those who need it most, remains the most effective approach.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 01/02/2017 17:58:41 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

The Foreign Secretary, my Rt Hon.
