Question
How many soldiers are accommodated under canvas on United Kingdom military bases in Iraq; and
Answer

Protection of our forces in Iraq is an extremely high priority and a number of improvements have been, and continue to be, made to enhance our layered approach to force protection. However, I will not disclose information on the force protection capability of accommodation or indeed any buildings and structures at our bases in Iraq as it would be, or would likely be, prejudicial to the safety and security of our Armed Forces.
