Llew Smith: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what communications have taken place between his Department and operational
commanders involved in military actions in Afghanistan in respect of the clear labelling of yellow cluster bombs and yellow food
parcels; and what plans there are to halt the use of cluster bombs by the Allied coalition forces involved in operations in
Afghanistan. [14265]
Mr. Ingram: We are in close touch with the US on all aspects of the response to the 11 September attacks, including at the military
planning level. I understand that the US authorities have recognised that there is a problem with bomblets from cluster bombs and
food parcels both being yellow. They have, therefore, dropped leaflets with diagrams of the two explaining which should be
approached and which avoided.
Cluster bombs are legitimate weapons that have not been prohibited by any treaty or convention. There are no plans to halt their use
against legitimate terrorist and military targets.
