This information is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. Data are more readily available for the Task Force Helmand area of operations in Helmand province, which includes the majority of UK forces deployed to Afghanistan. It should be noted that this area of operations has not stayed constant during the period in question.
The following figures refer to IED explosions that have been subsequently reported by International Security Assistance Force units operating within the Task Force Helmand area of operations. This includes both 'laid' IEDs and suicide (both vehicle and person borne) devices.

The data are based on information derived from a number of sources and can only be an estimate, not least because of the challenges of collating statistics in a complex fast moving multinational operational environment.

That this House applauds the efforts of all those who continue to tackle the appalling humanitarian and development problems caused by landmines and unexploded ordnance in more than 82 countries worldwide; applauds in particular those musicians such as Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Chrissie Hynde, Billy Bragg and other who have kept this issue in the public eye by organising Concerts for a Landmine Free World; commends Landmine Action and the International Campaign to Ban Landmines for the publication of the Landmine Monitor Report 2003; notes that 141 countries have now ratified the Ottawa Treaty on anti-personnel landmines; further notes that the Landmine Monitor finds it evident from current rates of progress that even greater increases in mine action funding will be needed in the future to cope fully with the global landmine problem and to enable Ottawa Treaty states parties to meet their 10-year deadline for mine clearance; calls on all states to join and implement the treaty without delay; and strongly believes that the Government should redouble its efforts to support the global campaign against this illegal and indiscriminate weapon.

That this House believes that humanitarian mine action, embracing measures of disciplined clearance of landmines and unexploded ordnance, support and rehabilitation for victims allied to freely accessible seminars on mine awareness and guidance on related advocacy for afflicted communities, is a vital element of any effective programme of development aid; notes that such a programme will save lives, promote peace, and rebuild communities, reduce poverty and enhance welfare by removing restrictions on access to arable land and other natural and mineral resources; and therefore calls upon Her Majesty's Government to improve both the level and the consistency of long-term funding made available to reliable British charities seeking to respond to the needs of communities so afflicted throughout the world.
