Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what his latest estimate is of the number of (a) civilians,
(b) coalition forces and (c) terrorists killed in Iraq since the end of the war; and what the evidential basis is for
his estimate. [174830]
Mr. Ingram: Since the end of major combat operations on 1 May 2003, United Kingdom forces have suffered 25 fatalities. Those
suffered by other members of the International Coalition are a matter for them to comment on.
Since 1 May, UK Units have reported all confirmed fatalities of which they are aware arising from incidents in which they
were involved and we have put in place a mechanism for central collation of unit reports. However it is not always possible to
confirm whether fatalities or injuries have occurred during a particular incident. For example, in some incidents we believe Iraqi
dead and/or injured may have been taken away by their compatriots before UK Forces could investigate. In other incidents UK Forces
have been forced to withdraw before any Iraqi fatalities and/or injuries could be confirmed. Consequently we have no viable means of
assessing the completeness of the information.
The same difficulty arises in estimating the number of terrorists killed.
