Iraq: Peacekeeping Operations
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what plans he has for the withdrawal of British troops from Iraq.
- Answer
-
As I explained in my statement of 24 April 2008, Official Report, column 107WS, UK force levels in southern Iraq will stay at around 4,000 following Iraqi-led operations to enforce the rule of law in Basra, and while military commanders continue to assess the changing situation on the ground. It remains our clear intention to reduce troop numbers in Iraq as and when conditions allow.
