HC Deb 26 February 1996 vol 272 c297W
Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what requests he has received for British military forces to come under local, non-British control; what has been his response; and if he will make a statement. [13266]

Mr. Soames

British military forces regularly come under non-British operational control when they take part in operations under UN, NATO or ad hoc coalition auspices. In all cases, British forces remain under UK national command.
