Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Royal Air Force personnel are present in Saudi air operations centres involved in the war in Yemen as of 31 January 2022; and what rank those personnel are.
We have a very small number of liaison officers based in the Saudi Air Operations Centre. They come under UK command and control and observe Saudi-led coalition air operations in Yemen to help the UK support Saudi compliance with International Humanitarian Law.
