Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Willie Rennie (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Lord Browne of Ladyton (Labour) on Monday, 22 October 2007 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.


Private Security Companies (Iraq)

Question
How many private security companies in Iraq are operating under British licence.
Answer

There is no British licensing regime for private military and security companies, so the answer is none. However, for completeness, let me add that the Ministry of Defence does not have any contracts with such companies in Iraq, and we have no plans for any.
