Volume 492: debated on Friday 15 May 2009

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress has been made on the Government’s programme of counter-terrorism capacity-building in Yemen. (273723)

Counter terrorism (CT) capacity-building forms part of the Government’s broader engagement with the Yemeni Government. Our CT capacity-building programme is progressing, and includes work to help counter radicalisation and improve the capability of law enforcement agencies to counter terrorism. We are co-ordinating with international partners and multilateral organisations to develop a self-sustaining Yemeni capability to tackle the terrorist threat.
