§ Mr. JenkinTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence what investigations into war crimes and crimes against humanity have been undertaken by British forces near Basra; and if he will make a statement. [115325]
§ Mr. IngramUnited Kingdom Forces in Basra are preserving any evidence found of legacy war crimes or crimes against humanity thought to have been carried out by the Iraqi regime for possible future investigations by an appropriate authority. UK military police are currently investigating a number of incidents that occurred during recent operations involving UK forces. It would be inappropriate to comment on on-going investigations.
