Iraq: Security
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of political instability in Iraq on UK security interests.
- Answer
-
We keep Iraqi internal stability under regular review and have noted the recent upsurge in violence with concern. Whilst the spike of large-scale unrest has dissipated since the end of August, the atmosphere in central and southern Iraq remains tense and further protests could occur.
The UK remains committed to the counter-Daesh mission, working alongside the Global Coalition at the continued request of the Government of Iraq. We remain hopeful that Iraq will find a peaceful and sustainable solution to the current political stalemate and that the Iraqi government will continue to support this vital work to ensure the enduring defeat of Daesh.
