HC Deb 27 October 1992 vol 212 cc609-10W
28. Mr. Anthony Coombs

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what progress has been made by the United Nations peacekeeping forces, with the involvement of United Kingdom troops, towards implementing the United Nations resolution relating to the disposal of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

Mr. Archie Hamilton

Significant progress has been made with substantial United Kingdom involvement.

Despite Iraqi obstruction much vital evidence has been uncovered, but more remains to be found. The process of destroying weapons and facilities is well advanced, with the majority of the proscribed items declared or discovered to date destroyed by the Iraqis under United Nations supervision.
