HC Deb 30 June 2003 vol 408 c38W
Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what action the Military Police in the Basra region has taken to investigate the whereabouts of Fred Nerac and Hussein Osman; and if he will make a statement. [116225]

Mr. Ingram

In the light of information that came to light last month, the Royal Military Police Special Investigation Branch have begun an investigation into the disappearance of Fred Nerac and Hussein Osman. Prior to this, and subject to the constraints of the security situation on the ground, British troops in southern Iraq, including members of the Royal Military Police, provided ITN investigators with whatever assistance they reasonably could in trying to establish what had happened.
