Iraq
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Warsi on 18 March (WA 116), why they have not produced any estimate for the number of Iraqis killed as a result of terrorist and war-related violence since the invasion of that country in 2003.[HL6688]
- Answer
-
The Government do not collate or publish numbers for civilians killed during conflicts. This is because it is immensely difficult to collect robust, accurate data. There are a number of publicly available sources that estimate such numbers. The Government
do publish official numbers of UK service personnel and civilians employed by the Government who are killed during conflict. The continuing violence and loss of life in Iraq is deplorable, and we have urged all political groups to work together to tackle terrorism and secure Iraq’s future.
