HL Deb 11 March 1996 vol 570 c44WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What information they now have concerning the US Inter-Agency Task Force under Mr. James Pardew (International Herald Tribune, 21st December 1995) which was charged with interesting "other countries in joining and financing" the United States Government's project to equip and train the Bosnian armed forces in Turkey; and whether it is their intention to take part in this exercise, or fund it.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The US is leading an effort to identify critical training and equipment needs for the Bosniac-Croat Federation, to design a programme to address those needs, and to build a coalition of contributors to support that programme through funds and in-kind contribution of equipment and training.
