Iraq

Question
What he expects UK troop levels to be in Iraq in each of the next three years; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

We have set out our plans for Iraq to spring 2008, when we plan to reduce UK troop numbers in southern Iraq to around 2,500. Decisions on the next phase will be made at that time, guided always by the assessments of our military commanders and the actual conditions on the ground.
