David Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will publish the estimates of Iraqi casualties contained in contact
reports compiled by UK armed forces serving in Iraq since 20 March 2003. [209235]
Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will release civilian casualty estimates contained in British military
contact reports from Iraq. [209316]
Mr. Kilfoyle: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will publish Iraq casualty estimates contained in British military
contact reports filed since the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. [209456]
Mr. Ingram: Between 1 May 2003 and 26 November 2004, Significant Incident reports and Significant Action reports
indicate that United Kingdom forces in Iraq encountered a number of Iraqi casualties. The figures drawn from those reports are not
an accurate estimate of Iraqi casualties, either those caused by UK forces or those caused by insurgent activities, and should not
be taken as such. They apply only to casualties which were witnessed or discovered by UK forces, and give no indication of
casualties outside the UK's areas of operations in South East Iraq, although they also cover the Black Watch deployment to the North
Babil area in November 2004. UK forces are not always present at all incidents which result in Iraqi civilian casualties, and
following hostile contacts they are not always able to make an accurate count of Iraqi casualties, either because they have
withdrawn from the area, or because such casualties have been removed.
These reports indicate that 200 Iraqis believed to have been enemy combatants have died, and 80 have been injured, in incidents
where military force was deliberately applied by UK forces. Five Iraqis believed not to have been enemy combatants have died, and a
further 13 have been injured, in incidents during the course of which military force was deliberately applied by UK forces. These
figures do not necessarily indicate that UK forces caused the casualties, but merely that they recorded them during the course of
incidents in which deliberate military force was applied.
Reports indicate that 17 Iraqis believed to have been enemy combatants have died, and 22 have been injured, during the course of
other incidents, 144 Iraqis believed not to have been enemy combatants have died, and 192 have been injured, during the course of
other incidents. This includes the full range of incidents in which UK forces have been involved, or to which UK forces have been
called, but where no deliberate military force was applied. This includes improvised explosive device attacks by insurgent forces on
civilian targets, road traffic accidents and in one case the discovery in May 2003 of a mass grave, thought to date back to 1991,
containing 32 dead. Iraqi Security Force casualties are not included.
These figures do not include the warfighting phase of Operation TELIC, prior to 1 May 2003, for which incident reports were
not routinely submitted whenever casualties were discovered.

David Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what assessment he has made of the merits of an
independent inquiry into the number of (a) Iraqi military personnel and (b) Iraqi civilians killed or injured by the
activities of coalition forces in Iraq since 19 March 2003; and if he will make a statement. [209234]
Mr. Rammell: As my right hon. Friend the Foreign Secretary explained in his written statement to Parliament on 17 November
2004, Official Report, columns 92-95WS, we believe that the Iraqi authorities remain in the best position to record casualties in
their country.
An independent inquiry is highly unlikely to be able to gain better access and provide more accurate information on casualties than
the Iraqi Government.
