New report finds numerous examples from the 1940s to 80s when ministers would usually tell parliament about UK special forces.
Extreme secrecy allows prime ministers to covertly deploy UK forces abroad and bypass parliamentary scrutiny
British government ministers were willing to give Parliament more information about the UK military’s special forces during World War 2 and the “end of empire” than they do today, new research reveals.
Ministers currently claim to have a “long-standing policy” of not commenting on Britain’s Special Air Service (SAS) when asked by MPs for basic details of its operations.
The special forces, which consist of several thousand personnel, are believed to be involved in eight covert wars abroad, including Yemen and Mali, and have a multibillion-pound budget.

I would tell women in Libya who want to launch their own business to start, persist and be determined. It is important to try, and success needs perseverance. If a woman truly believes in her project, she will certainly succeed - and failure is never the end, it is the start of success.
In 2018 I took part in the Adventurous Investor project with For You Libya Group – who were funded by IWPR and the UK government - where I participated in entrepreneurial trainings, did site visits to factories and small businesses in Libya, and participated in a competition between other women starting small businesses to motivate us. After nine months of guidance, and once all the participants made their products or planned their services, an exhibition was organised by For You Libya for us to market and show our products to the community and to receive feedback on them.
