Question

To ask the Prime Minister, when he was first informed of the involvement of British military personnel in military actions in Syria after the vote against military action in Syria on 30 August 2013.

It is a long-standing policy of the government, and previous governments going back for over half a century, to embed military personnel in a whole range of countries. I was aware that the Defence Secretary authorised the first embed with US forces in Syria in the autumn of last year.
