HC Deb 30 January 1995 vol 253 c545W
Mr. Harris

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has to contribute to the operation to withdraw the UN peacekeeping force from Somalia.

Mr. Soames

The United Kingdom is contributing a Royal Navy ship to the UN operation to withdraw peacekeeping forces from Somalia. HMS Exeter will arrive in the area later this week and will operate as part of a task group led by the United States navy. A RN presence will continue to be available to the United Nations for this purpose until mid-March.
