§ Lord Moynihanasked Her Majesty's Government:
How many police officers have been sent to Kosovo (a) from the United Kingdom and (b) in total; and, if this total is less than in the undertaking given by the Foreign Secretary on 30 June 1999, why. [HL1754]
§ Baroness Scotland of AsthalThe United Kingdom has deployed 60 police officers to the United Nations International Police in Kosovo. Although the UN requested this be increased to 120, we are in fact increasing the contribution to 150 officers, including 20 specialists to help combat organised crime in Kosovo. In addition, the UK has contributed 40 officers to the OSCE-run school training the future Kosovo police service.
According to figures provided by the UN on 6 April, 2,682 civilian police officers have been deployed to Kosovo by 44 countries.
