Debate between Penny Mordaunt and Danny Kinahan

Monday 23rd November 2015 Commons Chamber

[Danny Kinahan (South Antrim) (UUP)]

It seems strange that we give high-level British forces training to those fighting ISIL but we do not give them any of our equipment, so they end up fighting with Russian or other weapons. Will we look at changing that, so that they get body armour, medical supplies and, perhaps, more hardware?

[Penny Mordaunt]

I am happy to reassure the hon. Gentleman that as well as providing excellent training, we are gifting non-lethal equipment.
