Sub-munitions (Kosovo)

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many BL755 sub-munitions were destroyed by (a) 33 Engineer Regiment and (b) other UK forces in Kosovo between June 1999 and July 2000.
Answer

Information about the number and types of sub-munitions destroyed by United Kingdom forces is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Nonetheless, I can confirm that 212 sub-munitions tasks were conducted in Kosovo between 12 June 1999 and 30 June 2000; however, this figure relates to all sub-munitions tasks.
