Written question asked by Lord Hanningfield (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Drayson (Labour) on Wednesday, 19 April 2006.
Iraq and Afghanistan: Military Casualties
- Question
- What advice or guidance on the media handling of the deaths or injuries of British service personnel serving in (a) Iraq, and (b) Afghanistan has been drawn up since the start of those military engagements; and whether they will place a copy of that advice in the Library.
- Answer
-
The policies and guidance on handling media interest in the deaths of British service personnel are contained in joint service publication 751. A redacted copy of this document was placed in the Library in December 2005. This emphasises the need, where possible, to respect the wishes of the families in any media interaction. This document is reviewed regularly and replaced three single service documents in April 2005.
