Lord Dykes

asked Her Majesty's Government:

On which occasions the United States authorities have followed advice from United Kingdom military and civilian officials in Iraq since the 2003 invasion.[HL1675]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office
(Lord Triesman)

UK and US military and civilian officials work together closely on Iraq. We have military officers embedded at all levels in the coalition who contribute to planning and policy making. We also have close and excellent relationships with all parts of the wider US civilian administration and regularly discuss and agree on our strategy in Iraq.
