HC Deb 07 February 1994 vol 237 cc110-1W
Mr. Home Robertson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when Sea Harriers first took part in monitoring and enforcing the no-fly zone over Bosnia; under what operational command; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Hanley

The Sea Harriers first participated in no-fly zone operations on 2 August 1993. The Sea Harriers remain under national command. Their tasking on no-fly zone operations is co-ordinated between the command of NATO's 5th allied tactical air force and the commander of the Royal Navy task group.
