	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2016 answer text <p>The UN, the Red Cross Movement and Non-Governmental Organisation partners have the mandate and expertise to deliver an appropriate response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria. Any UK response would work to the same principles by which the UN operates. We would not use air drops when there is ground access particularly in the circumstances of western Syria, where there are no assurances about the safety of delivering humanitarian assistance by air. Nor would the UK undermine humanitarian agencies by providing duplicate aid through air drops, in the absence of full coordination with all agencies on the ground.</p><br /> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 15/01/2016 13:36:27 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2016 answer text <p>We assess that the Afghan Taliban leadership opposes Daesh's presence in Afghanistan, where there has been reported fighting between the two groups. Our judgement is that the Taliban generate funding via illegal exploitation of Afghanistan's natural resources, for example marble, talcum and lapis lazuli, and through extortion of payments from legal mining operations, but we have seen no evidence to suggest that Daesh is currently engaged in these activities.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 01/03/2016 16:32:53 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

The UK Armed Forces are currently deployed alongside European partners in many environments, including the NATO Operation in the Aegean and the EU-led Operation in the Central Mediterranean, both providing critical support to the international efforts to destroy the illegal smuggling networks putting thousands of lives at risk.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2016 answer text <p>Exercises with international Allies and partners are critical to improving our Armed Forces' interoperability on deployment and enhancing collective Defence through NATO. Last year we saw an excellent example of this in NATO's Exercise Trident Juncture, the biggest military exercise in 10 years. Although the EU does not lead large scale military operations like NATO, it does support the interoperability of our Armed Forces through its battlegroup framework and small scale exercises led by its Member States. The UK will hold the leadership of the battlegroup in the second half of this year.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 29/03/2016 14:59:17 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
