Dr. Reid
I cannot provide a complete answer to this question since some information could, if disclosed, cause harm to defence, security and international relations. I am therefore withholding certain details under exemption 1 of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information. Furthermore, exercises vary considerably in scale and full central records of all activity in which our forces have been engaged are not available. However, we do not have records of the more significant exercises, and details of British participation in exercises is given, by area, in the table. This table also includes details of the participating UK service and, where information is available, any overseas participants other than the host country. Where we have records that the host nation did not participate, this is indicated:
