Mr. McNamara: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many service personnel have died in non- combat situations in Belize in each year since the garrison was first established there. [209659] Mr. Caplin: There has been a British military presence in one form or another in Belize (former British Honduras) since the late 17th Century. In modern times the Regular British Army went to Belize in 1948 and a garrison has been there continuously since this time. Between 1 January 1984 and 31 December 2004, 27 Service personnel died in non-combat situations in Belize. It is not possible to provide information on deaths prior to 1984 as centrally held death records are known to be unreliable. A breakdown of these deaths by year is provided as follows. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Non-combat deaths 1984 2 1985 4 1986 0 1987 1 1988 2 1989 4 1990 1 1991 2 1992 8 1993 1 1994 0 1995 0 1996 1 1997 0 1998 0 1999 1 2000-04 0 Total 27 _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
