HC Deb 04 April 2003 vol 402 c885W
Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what the status is of Operation Resonate North; and if he will make a statement. [107121]

Mr. Ingram

In view of the ongoing air operations against Iraq, patrols in the No Fly Zones are now redundant. This does not mean that we have in any way reduced our humanitarian concerns for the Iraqi people. Our servicemen and women have daily risked their lives enhancing the security of the civilian population for over a decade, and we will continue to demonstrate that commitment.
