HC Deb 10 April 2001 vol 366 c522W
Mr. Jim Cunningham

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what British troops are stationed on the Macedonian border; and what their rules of engagement are. [157863]

Mr. Spellar

At the end of March, the British-led Task Force CAMBRAI deployed to the US-led sector in MNB(E), with an area of responsibility which includes a stretch of the Kosovo/Macedonian border. This Task Force currently totals some 400, of whom some 200 are British troops.

The rules of engagement for British troops in MNB(E) are robust, as they are for other UK troops serving in KFOR.
