Mr. Tyrie: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many people have been (a) killed and (b) injured in Kosovo as a result of
unexploded ordnance in the form of bomblets within cluster bombs used by UK forces in Kosovo since the cessation of the campaign
there. [112362]
Mr. Spellar: It is not always possible to identify accurately which nation's munitions have been the cause of casualties arising
form incidents involving cluster bomblets. Nor is the precise type of munition always identifiable.
The most recent figures provided by NATO assess that cluster bomblets have killed 22 Civilians in Kosovo with a further 27 injured.
Additionally, a further three military personnel have been killed, with four injured.
KFOR has now cleared more than 8,870 unexploded bomblets from Kosovo. All unexploded ordnance sites in the UK-led sector of Kosovo
have now been marked, and 90 per cent. of unexploded cluster bomb munitions cleared.
