To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what military assets he intends to retain in Afghanistan after 31 December 2014.
Mark Francois
The Minister of State, Ministry of Defence
As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence (Michael Fallon) said in the House on 27 November 2014 (Official Report, columns 1118-1120), the UK's contribution to the NATO Resolute Support Mission will be around 470 personnel. These personnel will remain in Kabul to deliver towards the Train, Advise and Assist function within the Resolute Support Mission. Personnel will be supported by all necessary equipment including an aviation detachment of three Chinook helicopters.
