David Davis – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by David Davis on 2016-01-26.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will place in the Library a copy of the UK red card policy for personnel embedded in other nations’ armed forces.

Michael Fallon

There is no single red card policy for UK personnel embedded in other nations’ armed forces as their permissions will be specific to the operation in which they will be deployed. It is long-standing Government policy that we do not release details of our Rules of Engagement; to do so would give our enemies detail that would put our Armed Forces at greater risk.
