Iraq

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will estimate how much has been spent by his Department on training the Iraqi Armed Forces since 2003.

Answer

We have not collated the cost of the UK Forces' programme of training Iraqi Armed Forces. This is because the costs of military operations are compiled in terms of the net additional costs incurred, not in terms of the individual tasks associated with those operations.
