Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the oral answer to the hon. Member for Wentworth and Dearne of 5 December 2023, Official Report, column 212, how many troops are in Syria.
The UK as part of the counter-Daesh Global Coalition has troops deployed across the Middle East to support this mission. As the Secretary of State of Defence stated on 5 December, we cannot go into operational specifics.
