Robertson asks PM about UK Yemen links

Speaking at Prime Minister鈥檚 Questions, Angus Robertson, the SNP鈥檚 leader at Westminster, said thousands of civilians were being killed in Yemen including by the Saudi air force.

Mr Robertson said this was happening using British-built plans, with pilots trained by British instructors and bombs 鈥渃o-ordinated with the help of British advisers鈥, suggesting the UK was already effectively involved in a war in Yemen.

David Cameron said the UK was not a member of the Saudi-led coalition, its military personnel were not directly involved and that the UK was 鈥渘ot involved in the Saudi targeting decision making process鈥.
