Mr. Gardiner: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many children in Iraq have taken part in the Theatre Mine Risk education
programme. [131238]
Mr. Ingram: Educating children in Iraq about the dangers of unexploded ordnance is currently the responsibility of four de-mining
Non-Governmental Organisations operating in Iraq whose work is co- ordinated by the UN Mine Action Co-ordination Team. We do not
hold data on how many children have taken part in their programmes.

Richard Younger-Ross: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how many Iraqi children he estimates have been killed while
dismantling Iraqi munitions in the last three months. [125701]
Mr. Ingram: There is no means of knowing how many Iraqi children have been killed while dismantling Iraq's munitions. Coalition
forces have, however, made significant efforts to educate local populations about the dangers of unexploded munitions. The United
Kingdom and other coalition Explosive Ordnance Disposal teams in the UK's area of responsibility have completed over 1,000 disposal
tasks and destroyed over 100,000 individual munitions. The Theatre Mine Risk Education (MRE) plan has been developed with the
support of UNICEF and the ICRC. A poster and leaflet campaign has been carried out; head teachers in Basrah have been briefed; and
military teams are delivering Mine/UXO awareness training to primary and secondary schools daily, using material approved by the
ICRC.
