The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, when is Operation Shader scheduled to end.

Answered by Al Carns

The UK remains committed to the enduring defeat of Daesh through Op SHADER. Whilst all UK operations remain under constant review, there are no plans to end Op SHADER. The UK will continue to do what is necessary to prevent a Daesh resurgence, support regional stability and protect UK national security.
