Dr. Moonie: I have written today.

Operation Resonate North

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.

RAF Menwith Hill

Norman Baker: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence who paid for the services of (a) his Department's police and (b) Home Office police at the demonstration at RAF Menwith Hill on 22 March; how many from each were deployed; and if he will make a statement. [107232]

Mr. Ingram: 136 additional Ministry of Defence Police (MDP) officers were deployed at RAF Menwith Hill over the 24 hour period, 22 March 2003. The cost of routine MDP services at RAF Menwith Hill is borne by the United States Government. Additional MDP costs occasioned by demonstrator activity is borne by the Ministry of Defence. The funding arrangement and numbers of Home Department Police deployed at RAF Menwith Hill on 22 March 2003, is a matter for my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary.

Service Personnel

Mr. Wiggin: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what arrangements have been made to enable servicemen and women from the Gulf to (a) telephone and (b) e-mail home; and what the costs are to the service personnel. [105643]

Mr. Ingram: Personnel are allowed 20 minutes telephone time per week and open access to e-mail. Both are free of charge. These arrangements have been in place for some time for personnel deployed in support of Operations Resinate and Oracle. For those deployed in support of Operation Telic, we continue to build up all aspects of the Operational Welfare Package as quickly as possible. For the duration of the combat phase, operational security considerations will govern the availability of both telephones and e-mail facilities to troops in a combat role. Any troops unable to use their allowance for operational security reasons will be able to accumulate their allowance for use at a later stage in the operation.
