To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many British civilians have died in Iraq in violent circumstances since the beginning of March 2003. (132397)

Our consular records show that at least 59 British civilians have died in Iraq since March 2003. This number includes deaths from natural causes, but is not a definitive figure as records include only those cases where consular assistance has been sought. The figure does not include British dual nationals or unrepresented foreign nationals.
