Question

Asked by

Lord Dykes

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many Iraqi civilians were killed and wounded following the military action in Iraq in 2003. [HL1511]

The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office

The Government have not collated figures for civilian casualties in Iraq. Throughout its military engagement in Iraq, the UK sought at all costs to avoid civilian casualties and took seriously its responsibilities and obligations under the Geneva Conventions.
