Iraq

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the security situation in Iraq.
Answer

Insurgents continue in their efforts to destabilise progress in Iraq. Although attacks continue, the numbers of these attacks have declined since the elections in January, with the majority confined to four out of 18 provinces in Iraq. The Iraqi Security Forces are conducting, both independently and with coalition support, an increasing number of counter-insurgency operations.
