Iraq: UK Forces
- Question
- What future they envisage for the British military presence in Iraq five years after the invasion.
- Answer
-
My Lords, UK forces still have an important role to play in Iraq, mentoring and training the Iraqi security forces and frequently supporting them in active operations. In line with our strategy, which was set out by the Prime Minister in October in another place, we will take decisions on the next phase of our military presence this spring. As always, this will be based on military advice and conditions on the ground.
