HC Deb 16 October 2003 vol 411 c328W
Jim Knight

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many tri-Service personnel have been activitated in response to the 11 September terrorist attacks. [132272]

Mr. Ingram

No members of the United Kingdom armed forces were engaged in the immediate response to the events of 11 September 2001 in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. Since that date, however, a large number of Service personnel have been involved in a variety of military operations designed to counter the threat from international terrorism.
