To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what guidance was given to British pilots in the allied forces involved in Operation Granby to assess whether the Iraqi troop carriers, withdrawing from Kuwait, contained any Kuwaiti citizens kidnapped by Iraqis, before bombing of the convoys in southern Iraq took place.

Allied forces had instructions to attack retreating Iraqi units which could continue to pose a threat.
