Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 22 October 2009.
Iraq
- Question
- My Lords, I am very heartened by the noble Lord’s response. This is an important mission and will help to stabilise an area that is vitally important for this country. For how long will these sailors be deployed? Will the Treasury pay for this mission, and will the Iraqis themselves start to contribute as their oil revenues build up?
- Answer
-
My Lords, the agreement will be in force for 12 months from its entry into force, which will be a few days after the formal ratification. The funding will come from the Treasury reserve. The Iraqis will not contribute on this particular project but we have other arrangements with them, particularly for the training of officers in the United Kingdom, for which they do indeed pay.
