Nicholas Soames – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Nicholas Soames on 2014-06-04.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will publish his Department’s assessment of lessons learned from the recent Libyan campaign.

Mr Mark Francois

The Department has a very thorough lessons learned process which is normally applied when an operation is initiated. However, due to operational security sensitivities we do not, as a matter of course, publish the findings of such processes. We have no plans to publish any lessons learned from Op Ellamy.
