"The presence of British troops in Camp Lemonnier was confirmed in a written parliamentary answer to Watson by the defence minister Mark Francois. He said: "[The three officers] work within the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) and are responsible for planning and supporting US military operations in the region. As embedded military personnel within a US headquarters they come under the command and control of the US armed forces, but remain subject to UK law, policy and military jurisdiction."
Watson, chair of the all-party parliamentary group on drones, has now written to Emmerson asking him to make sure the UK government "engages in informed debate on the imperative legal questions governing use of armed drones that you have identified" and responds to the rapporteur's latest report."
