Iraq

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will investigate the allegations of torture and killing of Iraqis in the light of recently leaked documents.

Allegations that UK forces abused Iraqis are already being investigated by the service police and the Iraq Historic Allegations Team. We are still studying the Wikileaks documents, and if there are new allegations about UK forces, they will be investigated.
