The Ministry of Defence, including military personnel, is participating in the UK Advisory Team drawn from across Whitehall, which has been sent to Nigeria to offer advice to the Nigerian authorities, including on longer-term counter-terrorism solutions to prevent such attacks in the future. I refer the hon. Member to the written statement released by my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary (William Hague), on 12 May 2014, (Official Report, column 15WS), and the comments he made in the House on 13 May 2014 (Official Report, column 579).
