Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his oral contribution of 7 November 2016, Official Report, column 1240, whether he plans to discuss the Coalition policy on investigating civilian casualties at the meeting of the counter-Daesh coalition to be chaired by the UK in London in December 2016.

Answer

The UK policy remains that we will carry out an investigation in any case where there is credible evidence of possible civilian casualties.
