HL Deb 11 March 1996 vol 570 c50WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the United States Air Force E-8 Joint-STARS aircraft are operating in former Yugoslavia under NATO or under US national control.

Earl Howe

The E-8 Joint-STARS aircraft are US national assets and their command arrangements are therefore a matter for the US Government.

Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the United States are passing to IFOR surveillance information from their nationally controlled surveillance satellite network, from the US Air Force E-8 Joint STARS aircraft, and from their Predator unmanned aerial vehicles.

Earl Howe

It is not our practice to comment on such matters.
