Tony Baldry: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development (1) what discussions her Department has had with the
Ministry of Defence on how military strategy can minimise and mitigate the risks of conflict to the Iraqi people; [104355]
(2) what advice her Department has given the Ministry of Defence and the armed forces on how best to discharge their humanitarian
responsibilities under the (a) Hague and (b) Geneva Conventions. [104356]
Clare Short: My Department has been in close discussion with the Ministry of Defence over many months working to minimise the
humanitarian impact of any conflict; both to minimise the risks to the Iraqi population and the infrastructure on which they depend,
and to ensure that UK forces meet their obligations under the Hague and Geneva conventions governing armed conflict. We have
seconded two humanitarian specialists to work with the armed forces (UK 1 Division) and to advise on relief activities.
