Lord Hylton – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Hylton on 2016-10-03.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the government of Lebanon has requested British air support for its frontier and other military forces; and if so, what their response was.

Earl Howe

No formal request for air support to the Lebanese Armed Forces has been received from the Government of Lebanon. However, should the UK Government receive such a request, it would be given due consideration, in consultation with the counter-Daesh Coalition.
