HC Deb 20 November 1992 vol 214 cc425-6W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list all the weapons and equipment that were confiscated by allied forces during the Gulf war; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Aitken

No comprehensive record was kept of the large quantities of Iraqi equipment captured by the allies during the Gulf conflict.

Mr. Spellar

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what was the estimated cost to the United Kingdom of the Gulf war.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

The current estimate of the cost of military involvement in the Gulf conflict, spread over several years, is around £2.5 billion. The bulk of the costs are offset by generous cash contributions from other Governments totalling some £2 billion.
