Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat). It was answered by Baroness Taylor of Bolton (Labour) on Tuesday, 27 November 2007.


Iraq

Question
What plans they have to remember the lives lost in the Iraq war and to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the invasion of Iraq on 20 March 2003.
Answer

My Lords, the sacrifice made by those killed on operations is remembered in many ways, including by name on the magnificent new Armed Forces memorial in Staffordshire. Events of commemoration are generally held to mark the end of an operation and to remember those who have lost their lives or been injured. We will consider how best to mark the end of operations in Iraq at the time.
